The SPIN model checker and its specification language Promela have been used extensively in industry and academia to check logical properties of distributed algorithms and protoc...
Abstract. The automata-based model checking approach for randomized distributed systems relies on an operational interleaving semantics of the system by means of a Markov decision ...
Multiproduct pipelines permit to transport large volumes of a wide range of refined petroleum products from major supply sources to distribution centers near market areas. Batches...
The partitioning of periodic task systems upon uniform multiprocessors is considered. In the partitioned approach to scheduling periodic tasks upon multiprocessors, each task is a...
Redundancy allocation problems (RAPs) have attracted much attention for the past thirty years due to its wide applications in improving the reliability of various engineering syste...
