Abstract— As the semiconductor technology continues its marching toward the deep sub-micron domain, the strong relation between leakage current and temperature becomes critical i...
Abstract--This paper proposes a method for deriving formal specifications of systems. To accomplish this task we pass through a non trivial number of steps, concepts and tools wher...
The Verifying Compiler (VC) project is a core component of the Dependable Systems Evolution Grand Challenge. The VC offers the promise of automatically proving that a program or c...
We propose a method to reuse unmodified device drivers and to improve system dependability using virtual machines. We run the unmodified device driver, with its original operating...
Requirements specification has long been acknowledged as an area for further research in the development of systems, particularly for those that are computer based. In addition, a...
