This paper reports work to support dependability arguments about the future reliability of a product before there is direct empirical evidence. We develop a method for estimating ...
As our reliance on computers increases, so does the need for robust software. Previous studies have shown that many C libraries exhibit robustness problems due to exceptional inpu...
This paper presents the experiences of using a symbolic model checker to check the safety properties of a servoloop control system. Symbolic model checking has been shown to be be...
Language run-time systems are routinely used to host potentially buggy or malicious codelets — software modules, agents, applets, etc. — in a secure environment. A number of t...
When making an engineering design decision, it is often necessary to consider its implications on both system performance and dependability. In this paper, we present a performabi...
