This paper shows how classic inductive assertions can be used in conjunction with an operational semantics to prove partial correctness properties of programs. The method imposes o...
It has been recognised that formal methods are useful as a modelling tool in requirements engineering. Specification languages such as Z permit the precise and unambiguous modell...
A classical problem of stochastic simulation is how to estimate the variance of the sample mean of dependent but stationary outputs. Many variance estimators, such as the batch me...
A histogram-based method for the interpretation of three-dimensional (3D) point clouds is introduced, where point clouds represent the surface of a scene of multiple objects and ba...
Multithreaded programs are notoriously prone to race conditions, a problem exacerbated by the widespread adoption of multi-core processors with complex memory models and cache coh...
