Abstract. This chapter considers the different temporal constructs appeared in the literature of temporal conceptual models (timestamping and evolution constraints), and it provid...
A second-order hierarchical uncertainty model of a system of independent random variables is studied in the paper. It is shown that the complex nonlinear optimization problem for ...
Abstract. This paper presents a model-checking approach for analyzing discrete-time Markov reward models. For this purpose, the temporal logic probabilistic CTL is extended with re...
Alloy is a little language for describing structural properties. It offers a declaration syntax compatible with graphical object models, and a set-based formula syntax powerful en...
A key step in program optimization is the determination of optimal values for code optimization parameters such as cache tile sizes and loop unrolling factors. One approach, which...
