Modeling and analysis of program behavior are at the foundation of computer system design and optimization. As computer systems become more adaptive, their efficiency increasingly...
Abstract. A classic result known as the speed-up theorem in machineindependent complexity theory shows that there exist some computable functions that do not have best programs for...
Kaltofen has proposed a new approach in (Kaltofen, 1992) for computing matrix determinants without divisions. The algorithm is based on a baby steps/giant steps construction of Kr...
ACTION THE KEY TO COMPUTING? Why is it that some software engineers and computer scientists are able to produce clear, elegant designs and programs, while others cannot? Is it poss...
Abstract. We examine the problem of detecting nested temporal predicates given the execution trace of a distributed program. We present a technique that allows efficient detection ...
