STAIRS is an approach to the compositional development of sequence diagrams supporting the specification of mandatory as well as potential behavior. In order to express the necess...
A method for using monotonicity information in multivariate Gaussian process regression and classification is proposed. Monotonicity information is introduced with virtual derivat...
As VLSI fabrication technology progresses to 65nm feature sizes and smaller, transistors no longer operate as ideal switches. This motivates verifying digital circuits using contin...
Programs use rules to dictate or constrain specific decisions or actions. These rules have typically been tested, revised, and updated continuously; therefore, they represent a su...
Many complex real-world decision problems, such as planning, contain an underlying constraint reasoning problem. The feasibility of a solution candidate then depends on the consis...
