The problem of figure-ground separation is tackled from the perspective of combinatorial optimization. Previous attempts have used deterministic optimization techniques based on re...
Among the many stages of a simulation study, debugging a simulation model is the one that is hardly reported on but that may consume a considerable amount of time and effort. In t...
: Parametric design is an important modeling paradigm in computer aided design. Relationships (constraints) between the degrees of freedom (DOFs) of the model, instead of the DOFs ...
Abstraction is the key for effectively dealing with the state explosion in model-checking. Unfortunately, finding abstractions which are small and yet enable us to get conclusive ...
Model-checking is becoming an accepted technique for debugging hardware and software systems. Debugging is based on the “Check / Analyze / Fix” loop: check the system against a...
