This paper introduces MOCAS (Model Of Components for Adaptive Systems), a generic state-based component model which enables the self-adaptation of software components together wit...
Modeling the dependencies between provided and required services within a software component is necessary for several reasons, such as automated component adaptation and architectu...
We present various techniques for improving the time and space efficiency of symbolic model checking for system requirements specified as synchronous finite state machines. We use...

Virtual Machine (VM) fork is a new cloud computing abstraction that instantaneously clones a VM into multiple replicas running on different hosts. All replicas share the same init...
In this paper we formulate the problem of grouping the states of a discrete Markov chain of arbitrary order simultaneously with deconvolving its transition probabilities. As the na...
