Much of software engineering is targeted towards identifying and removing existing defects while preventing the injection of new ones. Defect management is therefore one important ...
This paper surveys the theoretical developments in the field of stochastic process algebras, process algebras where action occurrences may be subject to a delay that is determined...
An important and unsolved problem today is the automatic quantification of the quality of video flows transmitted over packet networks. In particular, the ability to perform this ...
