Many embedded and real-time systems have a inherent probabilistic behaviour (sensors data, unreliable hardware,...). In that context, it is crucial to evaluate system properties such as "the probability that a particular hardware fails".…
The efficient solution of state space search problems is often attempted by guiding search algorithms with heuristics (estimates of the distance from any state to the goal). A popular way for creating heuristic functions is by using an…
This paper considers the problem of computing Bayesian estimates of both states and model parameters for nonlinear state-space models. Generally, this problem does not have a tractable solution and approximations must be utilised. In this…

The points-to problem is the problem of determining the possible run-time targets of pointer variables and is usually considered part of the more general aliasing problem, which consists in establishing whether and when different…
Bayesian model updating facilitates the calibration of analytical models based on observations and the quantification of uncertainties in model parameters such as stiffness and mass. This process significantly enhances damage assessment and…
We consider parameterized concurrent systems consisting of a finite but unknown number of components, obtained by replicating a given set of finite state automata. Components communicate by executing atomic interactions whose participants…
