Abstract--Current video-on-demand (VoD) systems can be classified into two categories: 1) true-VoD (TVoD) and 2) near-VoD (NVoD). TVoD systems allocate a dedicated channel for ever...
Language runtime systems are increasingly being embedded in systems to support runtime extensibility via mobile code. Such systems raise a number of concerns when the code running...
Membrane systems are models of computation which are inspired by some basic features of biological membranes. In a membrane system multisets of objects are placed in the compartme...
This paper explores the application of rewriting logic to the executable formal modeling of real-time and hybrid systems. We give general techniques by which such systems can be s...
Abstract-- Current systems are very often based on largescale, unpredictable and unreliable infrastructures. However, users of these systems increasingly require services with time...
—The paper discusses how Petri nets may be used for the qualitative modeling of physical systems. The qualitative state of a system is represented by the marking of the net. The ...
—There are many standards which are relevant for building safety or mission critical software systems. An effective standard is one that should help developers, assessors, and us...
— Guidance systems designed for neurosurgery, hip surgery, and spine surgery, and for approaches to other anatomy that is relatively rigid can use rigid-body transformations to a...

The number and heterogeneity of requests to Web sites are increasing also because the Web technology is becoming the preferred interface for information systems. Many systems host...
We are investigating a novel user interface paradigm based on zooming, in which users are presented with a zooming view of a huge planar information surface. We have developed a s...
