      Approximating standard cell delay distributions by reformulating the most probable failure point 

      Rodopoulos, Dimitrios; Roussel, P.; Catthoor, F.; Sazeides, Yiannakis; Soudris, Dimitrios J. (CEUR-WS, 2016)
      The delay distribution of a digital circuit path is crucial for the early reliability evaluation of a digital design. As transistors are shrunk to unprecedented dimensions, accurate yet fast estimation of such distributions ...

      Fault-tolerant semifast implementations of atomic read/write registers 

      Georgiou, Chryssis; Nicolaou, Nicolas C.; Shvartsman, A. A. (2009)
      This paper investigates time-efficient implementations of atomic read-write registers in message-passing systems where the number of readers can be unbounded. In particular we study the case of a single writer, multiple ...

      Greek EPQ-J: Further support for a three-factor model of personality in children and adolescents 

      Kokkinos, Constantinos M.; Panayiotou, Georgia; Charalambous, K.; Antoniadou, N.; Davazoglou, A. M. (2010)
      This study aimed to investigate the validity of the Eysenckian personality dimensions in 1,368 children and adolescents who completed the Greek Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Junior (EPQ-J). Exploratory and confirmatory ...

      A maximum entropy type test of fit 

      Lee, S.-J.; Vonta, Filia; Karagrigoriou, Alex (2011)
      In this paper, we propose a test of fit based on maximum entropy. The asymptotic distribution of the proposed test statistic is established and a corrected form for small and medium sample sizes is furnished. The performance ...

      Modeling the impact of permanent faults in caches 

      Sánchez, D.; Sazeides, Yiannakis; Cebrián, J. M.; Garćia, J. M.; Aragón, J. L. (2013)
      The traditional performance cost benefits we have enjoyed for decades from technology scaling are challenged by several critical constraints including reliability. Increases in static and dynamic variations are leading to ...

      On semi-markov modelling and inference for multi-state systems 

      Barbu, Vlad Stefan; Karagrigoriou, Alex; Makrides, Andreas (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
      In this work we focus on multi state systems that we model by means of semi-Markov processes. The sojourn times are seen to be independent not identically distributed random variables and assumed to belong to a general ...

      On the robustness of (semi) fast quorum-based implementations of atomic shared memory 

      Georgiou, Chryssis; Nicolaou, Nicolas C.; Shvartsman, A. A. (2008)
      This paper studies a trade-off between fault-tolerance and latency in implementations of atomic read/write objects in message-passing systems. In particular, considering fast or semifast quorum-based implementations, that ...

      Semi-Markov modelling for multi-state systems 

      Barbu, Vlad Stefan; Karagrigoriou, Alex; Makrides, Andreas (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014)
      Markov processes are widely used in reliability engineering. In this work we focus on multi state systems (MSS) and apply the Semi-Markov methodology for parameter estimation. For this purpose the sojourn times are assumed ...

      Soft-decision decoding of linear block codes using multiple information bases 

      Wu, Y.; Hadjicostis, Christoforos N. (2003)
      A previous study addressed algorithms that perform soft-decision decoding by utilizing encodings of test error patterns (TEPs) on the so-called "most reliable basis" which can be obtained by a greedy search algorithm. In ...

      Statistical comparison of algorithms 

      Kedem, B.; Wolff, D. B.; Fokianos, Konstantinos (2004)
      A "reference" algorithm or instrument and its various "distortions" are considered, where the distortions carry some valid information about the reference. The objective is to combine data from the reference and the ...
