Any model-based evaluation of the dependability of a system requires validation and verification to justify that its results are meaningful. Modern modeling frameworks enable us ...
Simulation and model checking are commonly used to compare the behaviour of a computer-based system with its requirements specification. However, when upgrading an operational le...
Two of the most important design issues for modern processors are power and performance. It is important for students in computer organization classes to understand the tradeoff b...
The simulation of large grids requires the generation of grid instances and an approximation of grid components’ behaviour. To generate grid instances, this paper outlines a set...
In distributed scenarios the robustness of a reputation mechanism depends on the data available for computation. Especially in ad-hoc networks the amount of available data is rest...
