Motivation: Most previous approaches to model biochemical networks havefocusedeither on the characterization of a networkstructurewith a number of components or on the estimation ...
stractions underlying distributed computing. We attempted to keep our preaims at an abstract and general level. In this column, we make those claims more concrete. More precisely, ...
To integrate a software component into a system, it must interact properly with the system's other components. Unfortunately,the decisions about how a component is to interac...
Current verification condition (VC) generation algorithms, such as weakest preconditions, yield a VC whose size may be exponential in the size of the code fragment being checked. ...
If a fixed exponentially decreasing probability distribution function is used to model every object’s lifetime, then the age of an object gives no information about its future ...
