A large class of q-distributions is defined on the stochastic model of Bernoulli trials in which the probability of success (=advancing to the next level) depends geometrically on...
— Security breaches and attacks are critical problems in today’s networking. A key-point is that the security of each host depends not only on the protection strategies it choo...
This paper describes a case study that uses clustering to group classes of an existing objectoriented system of significant size into subsystems. The clustering process is based o...
In this paper we explore the minimal system requirements to implement unreliable failure detectors. We first consider systems formed by lossy asynchronous and eventually timely l...
Abstract. Object invariants describe the consistency of object-oriented data structures and are central to reasoning about the correctness of object-oriented software. Yet, reasoni...
