The scale and complexity of distributed systems have steadily grown in the recent years. Management of this complexity has drawn attention towards systems that can automatically maintain themselves throughout different scenarios. These systems have been described with many terms, such as self-healing, self-stabilizing, self-organizing, self-adaptive, self-optimizing, self-protecting, and self-managing...
A selection is presented of fiber-optic and micro-optic devices that have been designed and tested for guaranteeing the quality and safety of typical foods, such as extra virgin olive oil, beer, and milk. Scattered colorimetry is used to authenticate various types of extra virgin olive oil and beer, while a fiber-optic-based device for UV-VIS-NIR absorption spectroscopy is exploited in order to obtain...
A unified approach to program verification is suggested, which applies to both sequential and parallel programs. The main proof method suggested is that of temporal reasoning in which the time dependence of events is the basic concept. Two formal systems are presented for providing a basis for temporal reasoning. One forms a formalization of the method of intermittent assertions, while the other is...
