Caches have become increasingly important with the widening gap between main memory and processor speeds. However, they are a source of unpredictability due to their characteristi...
This paper defines action-labelled quantitative transition systems as a general framework for combining qualitative and quantitative analysis. We define state-metrics as a natural...

Embedded systems are often used in a safety-critical context, e.g. in airborne or vehicle systems. Typically, timing constraints must be satisfied so that real-time embedded syste...
We propose rewriting logic as a unifying framework for a wide range of Petri nets models. We treat in detail place/transition nets and important extensions of the basic model by in...
There is an increased dominance of intra-die process variations, creating a need for an accurate and fast statistical timing analysis. Most of the recent proposed approaches assum...
