The quality of formal specifications and the circuits they are written for can be evaluated through checks such as vacuity and coverage. Both checks involve mutations to the specif...
— To increase the amount of logic available in SRAM-based FPGAs manufacturers are using nanometric technologies to boost logic density and reduce prices. However, nanometric scal...
: Real computer-based systems fail, and hence are often far less dependable than their owners and users need and desire. Individuals, organisations and indeed the world at large ar...
This paper presents a novel circuit fault detection and isolation technique for quasi delay-insensitive asynchronous circuits. We achieve fault isolation by a combination of physi...
Abstract. Enterprise-system upgrades are unreliable and often produce downtime or data-loss. Errors in the upgrade procedure, such as broken dependencies, constitute the leading ca...
