Abstract. Detection and isolation of failures in large and complex systems such as telecommunication networks are crucial and challenging tasks. The problem considered here is that...
Abstract--We present the STack ARchitecture (STAR) automaton. It is a fixed structure, multiaction, reward-penalty learning automaton, characterized by a star-shaped state transiti...
Stochastic modeling forms the basis for analysis in many areas, including biological and economic systems, as well as the performance and reliability modeling of computers and comm...
In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for proving the validity or invalidity of a pre/postcondition pair for a program. The algorithm is motivated by the success of the algori...
Hardware predictor designers have incorporated hysteresis and/or bias to achieve desired behavior by increasing the number of bits per counter. Some resulting proposed predictor de...
