To solve real-world discrete optimization problems approximately metaheuristics such as simulated annealing and other local search methods are commonly used. For large instances o...
Protocol and system designers use verification techniques to analyze a system's correctness properties. Network operators need verification techniques to ensure the "cor...
Model checking based on the causal partial order semantics of Petri nets is an approach widely applied to cope with the state space explosion problem. One of the ways to exploit su...
The global internet is rich in commodity resources but scarce in specialized resources. We argue that a grid framework can achieve better performance if it separates the management...
Program understanding is central to the development of distributed computations, from the initial coding phase, through testing and debugging, to maintenance and support. Our goal...
