stractions underlying distributed computing. We attempted to keep our preaims at an abstract and general level. In this column, we make those claims more concrete. More precisely, ...
In test generation based on model-checking, white-box test criteria are represented as trap conditions written in a temporal logic. A model checker is used to refute trap conditio...
Continued scaling of CMOS technology to smaller transistor sizes makes modern processors more susceptible to both transient and permanent hardware faults. Circuitlevel techniques ...
Verification of multi-agent programs is a key problem in agent research and development. This paper focuses on multi-agent programs that consist of a finite set of BDI-based agent...
Event-pattern reactive programs are small programs that process an input stream of events to detect and act upon given temporal patterns. These programs are used in distributed sys...
