The design of safety-critical systems has typically adopted static techniques to simplify error detection and fault tolerance. However, economic pressure to reduce costs is exposi...
Circuit specialization techniques such as constant propagation are commonly used to reduce both the hardware resources and cycle time of digital circuits. When recon gurable FPGAs...
Abstract— This paper investigates the near-memoryless behavior of the service time for IEEE 802.11 saturated single-hop ad hoc networks. We show that the number of packets succes...
In this paper, we show how to establish correctness and time bounds (e.g., quality of service guarantees) for multi-agent systems composed of communicating rule-based agents. The f...
This article introduces the concept of monotonic transactions. A monotonic transaction is a particular case of transactions for which the load arrival pattern is (or can be by rot...
