Abstract. In previous papers we proposed an algorithm for real parameter optimization called the Aggregation Pheromone System (APS). The APS replaces pheromone trails in traditiona...
An access control system is often viewed as a state transition system. Given a set of access control policies, a general safety requirement in such a system is to determine whethe...
Abstract. Dynamic fault trees (DFTs) are a versatile and common formalism to model and analyze the reliability of computer-based systems. This paper presents a formal semantics of ...
Designing storage systems to provide business continuity in the face of failures requires the use of various data protection techniques, such as backup, remote mirroring, point-in-...
Abstract— We present on-line tunable diagnostic and membership protocols for generic time-triggered (TT) systems to detect crashes, send/receive omission faults and network parti...
