We consider empirical evaluation of the availability of the deployed software. Evaluation of real systems is more realistic, more accurate, and provides higher level of confidenc...
We introduce and study problems of distributed observation with bounded or unbounded memory. We are given a system modeled as a finite-word language L over some finite alphabet ...
In the past decade outsourcing a software system’s support and maintenance has become relatively common across most organizations. In this paper we consider a few issues governi...
Capacity estimation is an important part of covert channel analysis. It measures the severity of a covert channel by estimating the maximum information rate attainable over it. Tr...
This paper presents the triple jump framework for accelerating the EM algorithm and other bound optimization methods. The idea is to extrapolate the third search point based on th...
