Performance evaluation is a central issue in the design of complex real-time systems. In this work, we propose an extension of socalled "Max-Plus" algebraic techniques to...
We study computer virology from an abstract point of view. Viruses and worms are self-replicating programs, whose constructions are essentially based on Kleene's second recurs...
