We consider the construction of finite automata from their corresponding regular expressions by a series of digraph-transformations along the expression’s structure. Each interm...
We consider the use of state elimination to construct shorter regular expressions from finite-state automata. Although state elimination is an intuitive method for computing regul...
In this paper we define timed regular expressions, a formalism for specifying discrete behaviors augmented with timing information, and prove that its expressive power is equivale...
In this paper, we present a method for generating checker circuits from sequential-extended regular expressions (SEREs). Such sequences form the core of increasingly-used Assertion...
We are concerned with the availability of systems, defined as the ratio between time of correct functioning and uptime. We propose to model guaranteed availability in terms of regu...
