Modeling and analysis is indispensable in engineering. To be safe and effective, a modeling method requires a language with a validated semantics; feature-rich, easy-to-use, depen...
Inherent constraints play an important role in the semantic Xplain model. These constraints enable us to represent certain real world knowledge once for subsequent use in several ...
—Markov chains with Labelled Transitions can be used to generate test cases in a model-based approach. These test cases are generated by random walks on the model according to pr...
A current trend in the software engineering community is to integrate different tools in a friendly and powerful development environment for use by final users. This is also the c...
We consider the problem of maximizing the reliability of a series-parallel system given cost and weight constraints on the system. The number of components in each subsystem and th...
