A lightweight code analysis and its role in evaluation of a dependability case
A dependability case is an explicit, end-to-end argument, based on concrete evidence, that a system satisfies a critical property. We report on a case study constructing a depend...

Modeling UpLink Power Control with Outage Probabilities
We investigate models for uplink interference in wireless systems. Our models account for the effects of outage probabilities. Such an accounting requires a nonlinear, even nonco...

Improving Software Robustness with Dependability Cases
Programs fail mainly for two reasons: logic errors in the code, and exception failures. Exception failures can account for up to 2/3 of system crashes [6], hence are worthy of ser...
