In a typical VLSI/PCB design, some modules are pre-placed in advance, and the other modules are requested to be placed without overlap with these pre-placed modules. The presence ...
We provide a method whereby, given mode and (upper approximation) type information, we can detect procedures and goals that can be guaranteed to not fail (i.e., to produce at leas...
We address the problem of the impossibility of implementing synchronous fault-tolerant service specifications in asynchronous distributed systems. We introduce a method for weaken...
