Performance simulation tools must be validated during the design process as functional models and early hardware are developed, so that designers can be sure of the performance of...
Constructive negation has been proved to be a valid alternative to negation as failure, especially when negation is required to have, in a sense, an `active' role. In this pa...
The concept of retargetability enables compiler technology to keep pace with the increasing variety of domain-speci c embedded processors. In order to achieve user retargetability,...
Model checking based on validating temporal logic formulas has proven practical and effective for numerous software engineering applications. As systems based on this approach ha...
