Prior research has suggested that the failure rates of faults follow a log normal distribution. We propose a specific model where distributions close to a log normal arise natural...
Mathematics is forcing towards a consistent framework of theory development. Computer Science is an engineering discipline and sometimes suffers from ad-hoc definitions. Transac...
Abstract. We propose a mathematical framework to deal with the composition of heterogeneous reactive systems. Our theory allows to establish theorems, from which design techniques ...
