Convex polyhedra are often used to approximate sets of states of programs involving numerical variables. The manipulation of convex polyhedra relies on the so-called double descri...
We introduce Shear, a user-level software tool that characterizes RAID storage arrays. Shear employs a set of controlled algorithms combined with statistical techniques to automat...
