In this paper we describe a trellis representation of variable length coded data which is capable of being used for bit-level or symbol-level maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoding o...
Distributed applications can fail in subtle ways that depend on the state of multiple parts of a system. This complicates the validation of such systems via fault injection, since...
