Even modern component architectures do not provide for easily manageable context-sensitive adaptability, a key requirement for ambient intelligence. The reason is that components a...
We illustrate the application of Nitpick, a specification checker, to the design of a style mechanism for a word processor. The design is cast, along with some expected properties...
— Due to the long simulation times of the reference input sets, microarchitects resort to alternative techniques to speed up cycle-accurate simulations. However, the reduction in...
