This paper discusses a case study, the co-design of an ATM Network Interface Card (NIC). The NIC is aimed to interface applications with the physical network line. It is composed ...
Formal modelling, in interactive system design, has received considerably less real use than might have been hoped. Heavy weight formal methods can be expensive to use, with poor c...
An essential characteristic of large scale software development is parallel development by teams of developers. How this parallel development is structured and supported has a pro...
