Even though a thorough system specification improves the quality of the design , it is not sufficient to guarantee that a system will satisfy its reliability targets. Within this ...
Model checking cryptographic protocols have evolved to a valuable method for discovering counterintuitive security flaws, which make possible for a hostile agent to subvert the go...
This paper presents a comprehensive study on the performance of common MANET (mobile ad hoc network) routing protocols under realistic network scenarios. The routing protocols use...
Stochastic Petri nets (SPNs) have been proved useful for the quantitative analysis of systems. This paper introduces ArgoSPE, a tool for the performance evaluation of software syst...
In large organizations the administration of access privileges (such as the assignment of an access right to a user in a particular role) is handled cooperatively through distribu...
