We begin by observing that (discrete-time) QuasiBirth-Death Processes (QBDs) are equivalent, in a precise sense, to (discrete-time) probabilistic 1-Counter Automata (p1CAs), and b...
We explain the design of the interpretation-based static analyzer Astr´ee and its use to prove the absence of run-time errors in safety-critical codes. Categories and Subject Des...
In test generation based on model-checking, white-box test criteria are represented as trap conditions written in a temporal logic. A model checker is used to refute trap conditio...
Hybrid algorithms that combine genetic algorithms with the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm have been effective in solving certain optimization problems. In this article, we apply a s...

As random access memory gets cheaper, it becomes increasingly affordable to build computers with large main memories. We consider decision support workloads within the context of...
