The economic benefit of a certain development process or particular activity is usually unknown and indeed hard to predict. However, the cost-effectiveness of process improvement...
The combination of higher quality requirements and sensitivity of high performance circuits to delay defects has led to an increasing emphasis on delay testing of VLSI circuits. A...

Abstract—Sharing patterns in shared-memory multiprocessors are the key to performance: uniprocessor latencytolerating techniques such as out-of-order execution and non-blocking c...
Concurrency bugs are becoming increasingly important due to the prevalence of concurrent programs. A fundamental problem of concurrent program bug detection and testing is that th...
In this paper we extend an earlier worst case bound reliability theory to derive a worst case reliability function R(t), which gives the worst case probability of surviving a furt...
