Validation of distributed systems using fault injection is difficult because of their inherent complexity, lack of a global clock, and lack of an easily accessible notion of a gl...

ating Structures is a system abstraction that helps to model large-scale distributed systems, whose performance mostly depends on how well the data and messages traffic is organiz...
Methods of formal description and verification represent a viable way for achieving fundamentally bug-free software. However, in reality only a small subset of the existing operati...
This paper presents a class of algorithms suitable for model reduction of distributed systems. Distributed systems are not suitable for treatment by standard model-reduction algor...
