Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a wellknown technique widely used for safety assessment in the area of safety-critical systems. However, FMEA is traditionally done man...
We propose a framework for component-based modeling of distributed systems. It provides separation of concerns between computation (in object oriented components), coordination (vi...
The design, implementation, and testing of virtual environments is complicated by the concurrency and realtime features of these systems. Therefore, the development of formal meth...
