—Conventional testing methods often fail to detect hidden flaws in complex embedded software such as device drivers or file systems. This deficiency incurs significant developmen...
In this paper, we describe our application of SPIN 1 to model an algorithm used to synchronize the clocks of modules that provide periodic real-time communication over a network. W...
We analyze the effect of a few fiber delay loops on the number of deflections in an all optical packet switch. The switch is based on the ROMEO architecture developed by Alcatel...
—We extend the modeling heuristic of [1] to evaluate the performance of an IEEE 802.11e infrastructure network carrying packet telephone calls, streaming video sessions and TCP c...
—Backoff misbehavior, in which a wireless node deliberately manipulates its backoff time, can induce significant network problems, such as severe unfairness and denial-of-servic...
