Feature interaction is a kind of inconsistent conflict between multiple communication services and considered an obstacle to developing reliable telephony systems. In this paper ...
We re-examine vacuity in temporal logic model checking. We note two disturbing phenomena in recent results in this area. The first indicates that not all vacuities detected in prac...
Abstract. Hybrid systems are a well-established mathematical model for embedded systems. Such systems, which combine discrete and continuous behavior, are increasingly used in safe...
We consider a distributed server system model and ask which policy should be used for assigning tasks to hosts. In our model each host processes tasks in First-Come-First-Serve ord...
