      An abstract channel specification and an algorithm implementing it using Java sockets 

      Georgiou, Chryssis; Shvartsman, A. A.; Musiał, Peter M.; Sonderegger, E. L. (2008)
      Models and specifications can be used in the design of distributed applications to formally reason about their safety properties. However, the benefits of using formal methods are often negated by the ad hoc process of ...

      Acceptance and resolution simulation studies for the dielectron spectrometer HADES at GSI 

      Schicker, R.; Brenschede, A.; Garrow, K.; Schön, H.; Bałanda, A.; Bokemeyer, H.; Friese, J.; Karig, W.; Kienle, P.; Koenig, W.; Kühn, W.; Lefèvre, F.; Metag, V.; Roche, G.; Salabura, P.; Schröter, A.; Stroth, J.; Tsertos, Haralambos (1996)
      Design studies for a second generation dilepton spectrometer to be built at the SIS accelerator of GSI Darmstadt are presented. The basic design parameters of this system are specified and the different detector components ...

      Automated implementation of complex distributed algorithms specified in the IOA language 

      Georgiou, Chryssis; Lynch, N.; Mavrommatis, Panayiotis; Tauber, J. A. (2009)
      IOA is a formal language for describing Input/Output automata that serves both as a formal specification language and as a programming language (Garland et al. in http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/tds/ioa/manual.ps, 2004). The IOA ...

      Brief announcement: A formal treatment of an abstract channel implementation using java sockets and TCP 

      Georgiou, Chryssis; Musiał, Peter M.; Shvartsman, A. A.; Sonderegger, E. L. (2007)
      Abstract models and specifications can be used in the design of distributed applications to formally reason about their safety properties. However, the benefits of using formal methods are offset by the challenging process ...

      Compact linear lead/lag metamaterial phase shifters for broadband applications 

      Antoniades, Marcos A.; Eleftheriades, G. V. (2003)
      A compact one-dimensional phase shifter is proposed using alternating sections of negative refractive index (NRI) metamaterials and printed transmission lines (TL). The NRI metamaterial sections consist of lumped element ...

      Design of an advanced heavy tactical truck: A target cascading case study 

      Michelena, N.; Louca, Loucas S.; Kokkolaras, M.; Lin, C.-C.; Jung, D.; Filipi, Z.; Assanis, D.; Papalambros, P.; Peng, H.; Stein, J.; Feury, M. (2001)
      The target cascading methodology is applied to the conceptual design of an advanced heavy tactical truck. Two levels are defined: an integrated truck model is represented at the top (vehicle) level and four independent ...

      Dynamic misspecification in nonparametric cointegrating regression 

      Kasparis, Ioannis; Phillips, Peter C. B. (2012)
      Linear cointegration is known to have the important property of invariance under temporal translation. The same property is shown not to apply for nonlinear cointegration. The limit properties of the Nadaraya-Watson (NW) ...

      Fault-tolerant supervisory control of discrete event systems modeled by bounded Petri nets 

      Ru, Y.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2007)
      This paper considers bounded Petri nets with both controllable and uncontrollable transitions, and addresses the synthesis of a fault-tolerant supervisor in a setting where the control specifications are described via ...

      On the automated implementation of time-based Paxos using the IOA compiler 

      Georgiou, Chryssis; Hadjiprocopiou, Procopis; Musiał, Peter M. (2010)
      Paxos is a well known algorithm for achieving consensus in distributed environments with uncertain processing and communication timing. Implementations of its variants have been successfully used in the industry (eg., ...

      Probabilistic resource failure in real-time process algebra 

      Philippou, Anna; Cleaveland, R.; Lee, I.; Smolka, S.; Sokolsky, O. (1998)
      PACSR, a probabilistic extension of the real-time process algebra ACSR, is presented. The extension is built upon a novel treatment of the notion of a resource. In ACSR, resources are used to model contention in accessing ...

      Residual-based rank specification tests for AR-GARCH type models 

      Andreou, Elena; Werker, Bas J. M. (2015)
      This paper derives the asymptotic distribution for a number of rank-based and classical residual specification tests in AR-GARCH type models. We consider tests for the null hypotheses of no linear and quadratic serial ...

      Tempo-toolkit: Tempo to java translation module 

      Georgiou, Chryssis; Musiał, Peter M.; Ploutarchou, Christos (2013)
      TIOA is a formal language for modeling distributed, concurrent, and timed/untimed systems as collections of interacting state machines, called Timed Input/Output Automata. TIOA provide natural mathematical notations for ...

      Using argumentation logic for firewall policy specification and analysis 

      Bandara, A. K.; Kakas, Antonis C.; Lupu, E. C.; Russo, A. (2006)
      Firewalls are important perimeter security mechanisms that imple-ment an organisation's network security requirements and can be notoriously difficult to configure correctly. Given their widespread use, it is crucial that ...
