Safety is increasingly important for software based, critical systems. Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a safety technique from engineering, developed for analyzing and assessing syste...
This paper describes how two runtime analysis algorithms, an existing data race detection algorithm and a new deadlock detection algorithm, have been implemented to analyze Java pr...
There is a growing recognition of the need to apply formal mathematical methods in the design of \high con dence" computing systems. Such systems operate in safety critical co...
Formal verification using the model checking paradigm has to deal with two aspects: The system models are structured, often as products of components, and the specification logic...
Component middleware provides dependable and efficient platforms that support key functional, and quality of service (QoS) needs of distributed real-time embedded (DRE) systems. C...
