Abstract--A delay-constrained scheduling problem for pointto-point communication is considered: a packet of B bits must be transmitted by a hard deadline of T slots over a timevary...
Abstract. We introduce two min-max problems: the first problem is to minimize the supremum of finitely many rational functions over a compact basic semi-algebraic set whereas the s...
Abstract. Software systems evolve over time. From a component-based software engineering perspective, this means that either the components of the system need to change, or, if com...
We develop a behavioural theory of distributed programs in the presence of failures such as nodes crashing and links breaking. The framework we use is that of D, a language in whi...
Transforming programs to alter their semantics is of wide interest, for purposes as diverse as off-the-shelf component adaptation, optimization,tracegeneration,andexperimentationw...
