Constraints formalize the dependencies in a physical world in terms of a logical relation among several unknowns. Constraint satisfaction methods allow efficient navigation of larg...
— Modern SAT solvers have proved highly successful in finding counterexamples to temporal properties of systems, using a method known as ”bounded model checking”. It is natu...
Asynchronous data communication mechanisms (ACMs) have been extensively studied as data connectors between independently timed concurrent processes. In previous work, an automatic ...
The ‘engineering’ and ‘adaptive’ approaches to system production are distinguished. It is argued that producing reliable self-organised software systems (SOSS) will necessa...
We present splitting methods for numerically solving a certain class of explicitly time-dependent linear differential equations. Starting from an efficient method for the autonom...
