Abstract The goal of System Level Formal Verification is to show system correctness
notwithstanding uncontrollable events (disturbances), as for example faults, variations in …

Formal verification requires high performance data processing software for extracting
knowledge from the unprecedented amount of data coming from analyzed systems. Since …

Guaranteeing quality of service (QoS) with minimum computation cost is the most important
objective of cloud-based MapReduce computations. Minimizing the total computation cost of …

Equivalence and model checking problems can be encoded into computing fixed points on
dependency graphs. Dependency graphs represent causal dependencies among the nodes …

Modern complex software systems produce a large amount of execution data, often stored in
logs. These logs can be analyzed using trace checking techniques to check whether the …

Equivalence and model checking problems can be encoded into computing fixed points on
dependency graphs. Dependency graphs represent causal dependencies among the nodes …

Internet-enabled devices operating in the physical world are increasingly integrated in
modern distributed systems. We focus on systems where the dynamics of spatial distribution …

An efficient way to cope with the combinatorial explosion problem induced by the model
checking process is to compute the Symbolic Observation Graph (SOG). Given an stuttering …

The placement of the mappers and reducers on the machines directly affects the
performance and cost of the MapReduce computation in cloud computing. From the …

Recent advances in wireless communications and computing technology are enabling the
emergence of small, low-cost devices capable of sensing, processing and communicating. A …
