Abstract. Monitoring systems are nowadays ubiquitous in complex environments, such as Grids. Their use is fundamental for performance evaluation, problem spotting, advanced debuggi...
Evolutionary testing denotes the use of evolutionary algorithms, e.g., Genetic Algorithms (GAs), to support various test automation tasks. Since evolutionary algorithms are heuris...
If an organization depends on the service quality provided by another organization it often enters into a bilateral service level agreement (SLA), which mitigates outsourcing risk...
Abstract. Data race is one of the most dangerous errors in multithreaded programming, and despite intensive studies, it remains a notorious cause of failures in concurrent systems....
