Abstract. Stochastic optimization is a leading approach to model optimization problems in which there is uncertainty in the input data, whether from measurement noise or an inabili...
The architecture of a software system has a significant impact on its quality of service (QoS) as measured by several performance metrics such as execution time, availability, th...
Structural coverage criteria are often used as an indicator of the thoroughness of testing, but complete satisfaction of a criterion is seldom achieved. When a software product is...
The recent past has seen a tremendous increase in the size of design circuits that can be implemented in a single FPGA. These large design sizes significantly impact cycle time du...
It is usually assumed that the implementation of exception handling can be better modularized by the use of aspectoriented programming (AOP). However, the trade-offs involved in u...
