Exhaustive model checking search techniques are ineffective for error discovery in large and complex multi-threaded software systems. Distance estimate heuristics guide the concre...
— This paper describes a novel, ultra-fast heuristic algorithm to address an NP-hard optimization problem. One of its significances is that, for the first time, the paper shows...
—Immediate notification of urgent but rare events and delivery of time sensitive actuation commands appear in many practical wireless sensor and actuator network applications. M...
This paper introduces the wave model, a novel approach on analyzing the behavior of GAs. Our aim is to give techniques that have practical relevance and provide tools for improvin...
Abstract--Dynamic recompilation tries to produce more efficient code by exploiting runtime information. Virtual machines like the Jikes RVM use recompilation heuristics to decide h...
