This paper provides a technique, based on partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs), for building automatic recovery controllers to guide distributed system recovery...

-- This paper presents an efficient method for the timing verification of concurrent systems, modeled as labeled Timed Petri nets. The verification problems we consider require us ...
This paper investigates data-refinement by backward simulation for specifications whose semantics is given by partial relations. The standard model-theoretic approach is based on ...
We study an approach to relational databases which treats relations not as subsets of a Cartesian product but as subsets of some domain { a partially ordered space of descriptions...
In this paper we present a prefetch technique, which incorporates a scheme similar to data streaming to minimize the response-lag. Unlike previous all or none techniques, we propo...
