Models are widely used for communication and documentation purposes. They also tend to be used as parameters for code generation. Because these models have to be complete, consist...
Network designers perform challenging tasks with so many configuration options that it is often hard or even impossible for a human to predict all potentially dangerous situation...
The use of electronics in vehicles is increasing quickly and the systems are becoming increasingly complex. This makes the engineering of these advanced computer-based systems mor...
