In the population protocol model introduced by Angluin et al. [2], a collection of agents, which are modelled by finite state machines, move around unpredictably and have pairwise ...
Abstract. For large distributed systems built from inexpensive components, one expects to see incessant failures. This paper proposes two models for such faults and analyzes two we...
We describe a formal framework for diagnosis and repair problems that shares elements of the well known partially observable MDP and cost-sensitive classification models. Our cost...

In this paper an extension of a behavioural subset of UML Statecharts for modeling mobility issues is proposed. In this extension we relax the unique association between each State...
We propose a new fault localization technique for software bugs in large-scale computing systems. Our technique always collects per-process function call traces of a target system...
