Reduction and Abstraction Techniques for BIP

Simon Bliudze, Mohammad Noureddine

Reduction and abstraction techniques have been proposed to address the state space explosion problem in verification. In this paper, we present reduction and abstraction techniques for component-based systems modeled in BIP (Behavior, Interaction and Prior ...

Lightweight Snapshots and System-level Backtracking

George Candea, Edouard Bugnion, Vitaly Chipounov

We propose a new system-level abstraction, the lightweight immutable execution snapshot, which combines the immutable characteristics of checkpoints with the direct integration into the virtual memory subsystem of standard mutable address spaces. The abstr ...

Approximation Algorithms for the Interval Constrained Coloring Problem

We consider the interval constrained coloring problem, which appears in the interpretation of experimental data in biochemistry. Monitoring hydrogen-deuterium exchange rates via mass spectroscopy experiments is a method used to obtain information about pro ...

The Failure Detector Abstraction

Rachid Guerraoui

A failure detector is a fundamental abstraction in distributed computing. This paper surveys this abstraction through two dimensions. First we study failure detectors as building blocks to simplify the design of reliable distributed algorithms. In particul ...

NineML: the network interchange for neuroscience modeling language

Sean Lewis Hill, Eilif Benjamin Muller, Michael Lee Hines

The growing number of large-scale neuronal network models has created a need for standards and guidelines to ease model sharing and facilitate the replication of results across different simulators. To foster community efforts towards such standards, the I ...

Decision Procedures for Automating Termination Proofs

Ruzica Piskac

Automated termination provers often use the following schema to prove that a program terminates: construct a relational abstraction of the program's transition relation and then show that the relational abstraction is well-founded. The focus of current too ...

The 3A interaction model: towards bridging the gap between formal and informal learning

Denis Gillet, Na Li

This paper discusses the adoption of bottom-up social software tools in formal learning environments. This is believed to enhance the learning experience of today’s young generation characterized by being technology savvy and keen on social networking. As ...

Diameter of Polyhedra: Limits of Abstraction

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Thomas Rothvoss, Nicolai Hähnle

We investigate the diameter of a natural abstraction of the 1-skeleton of polyhedra. Even if this abstraction is more general than other abstractions previously studied in the literature, known upper bounds on the diameter of polyhedra continue to hold her ...

Diameter of Polyhedra: Limits of Abstraction

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Thomas Rothvoss, Nicolai Hähnle

We investigate the diameter of a natural abstraction of the 1-skeleton of polyhedra. Although this abstraction is simpler than other abstractions that were previously studied in the literature, the best upper bounds on the diameter of polyhedra continue to ...

Analysis and Design of Biological Circuits and Systems

Systems and synthetic biology are two emerging disciplines that hold promise to revolutionize our understanding of biological systems and to herald a new era of programmable hardware, respectively. Mathematical abstraction and today's abundance of quantita ...
