We extend a torus-based coterie structure for distributed mutual exclusion to allow k multiple entries in a critical section. In the original coterie, the system nodes are logical...
A controversial issue in the formal methods community is the degree to which mathematical sophistication and theorem proving skills should be needed to apply a formal method. A fun...
synchronisation also play a fundamental role in overall system robustness. ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) issues also have to be conside...
Model-checkers have recently been suggested for automated software test-case generation. Several works have presented methods that create efficient test-suites using model-checker...
Encryption is widely used to enforce usage rules for digital content. In many scenarios content is encrypted using a group key which is known to a group of users that are allowed ...
