Abstract—Many applications are concurrent and communicate over a network. The non-determinism in the thread and communication schedules makes it desirable to model check such sys...
Abstract We propose an approach to certify the information flow security of multi-threaded programs independently from the scheduling algorithm. A scheduler-independent verificatio...
Context-aware applications pose new challenges, including a need for new computational models, uncertainty management, and efficient optimization under uncertainty. Uncertainty c...

This paper discusses the use of simulation in a new context. Most often QUEST is viewed as a stand-alone simulation tool to analyze and understand shop floor behavior. It has rare...
Many scientific applications need to stage large volumes of files from one set of machines to another set of machines in a wide-area network. Efficient execution of such data t...
