Based on the notion of event-based behavioral abstraction EBBA we specify properties of object-oriented distributed systems in linear time temporal logic. These properties are the...
The hit criterion is a key component of heuristic local alignment algorithms. It specifies a class of patterns assumed to witness a potential similarity, and this choice is decisi...
Context-aware pervasive systems are an important emerging category of software, increasingly pervading into daily life, play and work. These systems are characterized by capabilit...
In this paper, we present DeFer--a fast, high-quality, scalable, and nonstochastic fixed-outline floorplanning algorithm. DeFer generates a nonslicing floorplan by compacting a sli...
Detecting code clones has many software engineering applications. Existing approaches either do not scale to large code bases or are not robust against minor code modifications. I...
