Abstract. In order to support the dependability analysis of a system under design in an early phase of the design process, so-called fault tolerance libraries can be created that c...
—The notion of Architectural Vulnerability Factor (AVF) has been extensively used by designers to evaluate various aspects of design robustness. While AVF is a very accurate way ...
The growing complexity of distributed biomedical application requirements present new challenges to the representation of software architectural analysis and design. This is the c...
Designing a cost effective superscalar architecture for x86 compatible microprocessors is a challenging task in terms of both technical difficulty and commercial value. One of the...
In complex hard real-time systems with tight constraints on system resources, small changes in one component of a system can cause a cascade of adverse effects on other parts of t...
