It is a well-known result of Fagin that the complexity class NP coincides with the class of problems expressible in existential second-order logic ( 1 1), which allows sentences c...
This paper addresses the problem of allocating (assigning and scheduling) periodic task modules to processing nodes in distributed real-time systems subject to task precedence and ...

Abstract. Dynamic fault trees (DFTs) are a versatile and common formalism to model and analyze the reliability of computer-based systems. This paper presents a formal semantics of ...
Recently a bulk of research [14, 5, 15, 9] has been done on the modelling of the smallworld phenomenon, which has been shown to be pervasive in social and nature networks, and eng...
