The paper aims at presenting a method of controlling software quality attributes driven by the set of requirements. This is done in three steps: specifying all the requirements, ma...
Abstract. Typical sensor nodes are composed of cheap hardware because they have to be affordable in great numbers. This means that memory and communication bandwidth are small, CPU...
Many different system description and specification languages are used in modern design flows to emphasize different aspects like modular architecture, multibehavior, abstract act...
Networks of communicating finite-state machines equipped with local clocks generate timed MSCs. We consider the problem of checking whether these timed MSCs are "consistent&qu...
Commercial databases support different isolation levels to allow programmers to trade off consistency for a potential gain in performance. The isolation levels are defined in the ...
