This paper describes the tool CASPA, a new performance evaluation tool which is based on a Markovian stochastic process algebra. CASPA uses multi-terminal binary decision diagrams ...
In this paper, we present an approach for modeling an existing web application using communicating finite automata model based on the userdefined properties to be validated. We ela...

Abstract. In this article we present a method to avoid security problems in modern m-commerce applications. The security problems that we are addressing are breaches of security du...
Abstract. We apply the PEPA nets modelling language to modelling a peer-topeer medical informatics application, the FieldCare PDA-based medical records system developed by SINTEF T...

Abstract. Event-based process algebraic specification languages support an elegant specification technique by which system behaviours are described as compositions of constraints o...
Software Model-Checking and Testing are some of the most used techniques to analyze software systems and identify hidden faults. While software model-checking allows for an exhaust...

Abstract. We present automated techniques for the explanation of counterexamples, where a counter-example should be understood as a sequence of program statements. Our approach is ...
Passage time densities are useful performance measurements in stochastic systems. With them the modeller can extract probabilistic quality-of-service guarantees such as: the proba...

Abstract. As its name indicates, NGSCB aims to be the "Next-Generation Secure Computing Base". As envisioned in the context of Trusted Computing initiatives, NGSCB provid...
Abstract. Monitoring large distributed concurrent systems is a challenging task. In this paper we formulate (model-based) diagnosis by means of hidden state history reconstruction,...
