Abstract. The design of reactive systems must comply with logical correctness (the system does what it is supposed to do) and timeliness (the system has to satisfy a set of tempora...
Recent work showed that staging and abstract interpretation can be used to derive correct families of combinatorial circuits, and illustrated this technique with an in-depth analys...
Generative programming and aspect-oriented software development have been proposed over the last years aiming at increasing maintainability and reusability of software systems. Wh...
Globus has become a standard in the construction of Grid computing environments. However, it still needs more work and research to satisfy requirements from various grid applicatio...
