Ensuring the correctness of computer systems used in lifecritical applications is very difficult. The most commonly used verification methods, simulation and testing, are not exha...
We present a system-level technique to analyze the impact of design optimizations on system-level timing dependencies. This technique enables us to speed up the design cycle by su...
The paper presents some preliminary results on dynamic scheduling of model predictive controllers (MPCs). In an MPC, the control signal is obtained by on-line optimization of a co...
— Existing human performance taxonomies which mostly can answer the question “what factors could affect the result” rather than “why it happened”, are usually used to ana...
Most discrete-event simulation models have stochastic elements that mimic the probabilistic nature of the system under consideration. A close match between the input model and the...
