A new stochastic method for locating the global minimum of a multidimensional function inside a rectangular hyperbox is presented. A sampling technique is employed that makes use ...
We describe a new algorithm for proving temporal properties expressed in LTL of infinite-state programs. Our approach takes advantage of the fact that LTL properties can often be...
Features express the variabilities and commonalities among programs in a software product line (SPL). A feature model defines the valid combinations of features, where each combin...
Software attacks often subvert the intended data-flow in a vulnerable program. For example, attackers exploit buffer overflows and format string vulnerabilities to write data to u...
MLF is a type system that extends a functional language with impredicative rank-n polymorphism. Type inference remains possible and only in some clearly defined situations, a loca...
