“demonic” nondeterminism, representing abstraction from (or ignorance of) which of two program fragments will be executed. By introducing probabilistic nondeterminism into GCL,...
d Abstract) We extend the model of [VRV94] to express strong time-outs (and pre-emption): if an event A does not happen through time t, cause event B to happen at time t. Such con...
A compositional method for estimating software reliability of many threaded programs is developed. The method uses estimates of the reliability of individual modules and the proba...
The development of design patterns in object-oriented programming aims at capturing good software design in a re-usable generic form. However, design patterns are not expressible ...
