The goal of testing is to distinguish between a number of hypotheses about a systemfor example, dierent diagnoses of faults by applying input patterns and verifying or falsifying t...
Developers of distributed systems routinely construct discrete-event simulations to help understand and evaluate the behavior of inter-component protocols. Simulations are abstrac...

Today, many formal analysis tools are not only used to provide certainty but are also used to debug software systems – a role that has traditional been reserved for testing tool...
Irreversible computation necessarily results in energy dissipation due to information loss. While small in comparison to the power consumption of today’s VLSI circuits, if curre...
Parallel computers are now commonly used for computational science and engineering, and many applications in these areas use random number generators. For some applications, such ...
