Probabilistic I/O automata (PIOA) constitute a model for distributed or concurrent systems that incorporates a notion of probabilistic choice. The PIOA model provides a notion of ...
We investigate the interactions of subtyping and recursive types, in a simply typed λ-calculus. The two fundamental questions here are whether two (recursive) types are in the su...
The study of random instances of NP complete and coNP complete problems has had much impact on our understanding of the nature of hard problems. In this work, we initiate an effor...
: A distributed system is scalable if the rate at which it completes its computation and communication tasks does not depend on its size. As an example, the scalability of a peer-t...
It has been almost three decades since Nolan proposed his stages hypothesis. Since then several studies on the stages of growth theory appeared in the academic literature. Despite...
