Using an improved backtrack algorithm with sophisticated pruning techniques, we revise previous observations correlating a high frequency of hard to solve Hamiltonian cycle instan...
This paper addresses the run-time diagnosis of delay faults in functional units of microprocessors. Despite the popularity of the stuck-at fault model, it is no longer the only re...
Distributed hard real-time systems have become a major component of many advanced technical products. Means to ensure their proper quality are thus of paramount importance. To ens...
In this paper, we present a preemptive joint scheduling of hard deadline periodic and hard deadline aperiodic tasks on a uniprocessor real-time system. The scheduling has extended...
The Negative Slope Coefficient (nsc) is an empirical measure of problem hardness based on the analysis of offspring-fitness vs. parent-fitness scatterplots. The nsc has been teste...
