Before the advent of sufficiently powerful computing machinery, the practice of science took place on a bi-polar spectrum between rationalism and empirism, between theory and experiment. Theory commanded support from ...

Constructions of science that slowly change over time are deemed to be the basis of the reliability with which scientific knowledge is regarded. A potential paradigm shift based on big data is looming – many researchers ...

In this article, we revise our constraint-based abstraction refinement technique for checking temporal logic properties of concurrent software systems. Our technique employs predicate abstraction and SAT-based three-valued ...

The Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) algorithm consists of a population (or swarm) of particles that are “flown” through an n-dimensional space in search of a global best solution to an optimisation problem. PSO operates ...

We present a technique for verifying concurrent software systems via SAT-based three-valued bounded model checking. It is based on a direct transfer of the system to be analysed and a temporal logic property into a ...

The key to mature and efficient industrial software engineering is standardisation more than an aggressive struggle for innovation only for the sake of its own. This is assumption is also held for the area of sensor networks ...

In most applications, anomaly detection operates in an unsupervised mode by looking for outliers hoping that they are anomalies. Unfortunately, most anomaly detectors do not come with explanations about which features make ...
