Markov chain analysis is a key technique in formal verification. A practical obstacle is that all probabilities in Markov models need to be known. However, system quantities such as …
Parametric model checking (PMC) computes algebraic formulae that express key non- functional properties of a system (reliability, performance, etc.) as rational functions of the …
Probabilistic model-checking aims to prove whether a Markov decision process (MDP) satisfies a temporal logic specification. The underlying methods rely on an often unrealistic …
Providing assurance that self-adaptive software meets its dependability, performance and other quality-of-service (QoS) requirements is a great challenge. Recent approaches to …
Almost without exception, cyber-physical systems operate alongside, for the benefit of, and supported by humans. Unsurprisingly, disregarding their social aspects during development …
Autonomous systems are often used in applications where environmental and internal changes may lead to requirement violations. Adapting to these changes proactively, ie …
Markov chain analysis is a key technique in formal verification. A practical obstacle is that all probabilities in Markov models need to be known. However, system quantities such as …
Software-intensive systems are increasingly used to support tasks that are typically characterized by high degrees of uncertainty. The modeling notations employed to design …
Stochastic models are widely used to verify whether systems satisfy their reliability, performance and other nonfunctional requirements. However, the validity of the verification …
