In safety-critical and high-reliability systems, software development and maintenance are costly endeavors. The cost can be reduced if software errors can be identified through au...
Abstract. The actor model provides high-level concurrency abstractions to coordinate simultaneous computations by message passing. Languages implementing the actor model such as Er...

Current and future trends for software include increasingly complex requirements on interaction between systems. As a result, the difficulty of system testing increases. Model-bas...
A unidirectional heap is a heap where all pointers go in one direction, e.g. from newer to older objects. For a strict functional language, such as Erlang, the heap may be arranged...
Approximating general distributions by phase-type (PH) distributions is a popular technique in stochastic analysis, since the Markovian property of PH distributions often allows a...
