Abstract: We introduce the input-output automaton, a simple but powerful model of computation in asynchronous distributed networks. With this model we are able to construct modular...
To address the productivity bottlenecks in power analysis and optimization of modern systems, we propose to treat power as a signal and leverage the rich set of signal processing ...
We present a simple method to formally prove termination of recursive functions by searching for lexicographic combinations of size measures. Despite its simplicity, the method tur...
Metric Temporal Logic (MTL) is a real-time extension of Linear Temporal Logic that was proposed fifteen years ago and has since been extensively studied. Since the early 1990s, it ...
Model checking algorithms can report a property as being true for reasons that may be considered vacuous. Current algorithms for detecting vacuity require either checking a quadrat...
