Natural fractured media are highly unpredictable because of existing complex structures at the fracture and at the network levels. Fractures are by themselves heterogeneous objects...
—Memory accesses form an important source of timing unpredictability. Timing analysis of real-time embedded software thus requires bounding the time for memory accesses. Multipro...

Caches are notorious for their unpredictability. It is difficult or even impossible to predict if a memory access results in a definite cache hit or miss. This unpredictability i...
"A random or stochastic process is a mathematical model for a phenomenon
that evolves in time in an unpredictable manner from the viewpoint of the
observer. The phenomenon m...
Unpredictability in COTS-based systems often manifests as occasional instances of uncontrollably-high response times. A particular category of COTS systems, fault-tolerant (FT) mid...
