This paper addresses the crucial issue in the design of a proof development system of how to deal with partial functions and the related question of how to treat undefined terms. ...
Interacting State Machines (ISMs) are used to model reactive systems and to express and verify their properties. They can be seen both as automata exchanging messages simultaneousl...
When a program uses Software Transactional Memory (STM) to synchronize accesses to shared memory, the performance often depends on which STM implementation is used. Implementation...
In processors that do not support floating-point instructions, using fixed-point arithmetic instead of floating-point emulation trades off computation accuracy for execution spe...
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is slated to become a standard for tagging various products. As more and more products become RFID enabled, fast tag identification mechanism...
