If two translation systems differ differ in performance on a test set, can we trust that this indicates a difference in true system quality? To answer this question, we describe b...
The design of complex systems, e.g., telecom services, is nowadays usually based on the integration of components (COTS), loosely coupled in distributed architectures. When compon...
1 Virtual Machine authors face a difficult choice between low performance, cheap interpreters, or specialized and costly compilers. A method able to bridge this wide gap is the exi...
The performance of a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) interpreter running on a very long instruction word (VLIW) processor can be improved by means of pipelining. While one bytecode is i...
Abstract: Model based testing promises systematic test coverage in a continuous testing process. However, in practice, model based testing struggles with informal specifications, d...
