Chapter
Component-Oriented Functional Verification
Enhancing the usability of process algebra on the modeling side must be accompanied by an analogous effort on the verification side. At the architectural design level, it is important to detect mismatches stem...

Chapter
Trading Dependability and Performance
Modern software systems are often subject to dependability and performance requirements in conflict with each other. Since it is common to carry out separately dependability analysis and performance evaluation...

Chapter
Deterministically Timed Process Algebra
Concurrent and distributed systems are characterized not only by their functional behavior, but also by their quantitative features. A prominent role is played by timing aspects, which express the temporal exe...

Chapter
Component-Oriented Modeling
Using process algebra at the software architecture level of design can be beneficial both for enhancing the usability of the formalism and for improving the formality and analyzability of the architectural des...

Chapter
Component-Oriented Performance Evaluation
The functional verification of software systems should not be separate from system performance evaluation. Any software architecture should be designed by having in mind the satisfaction of functional and nonf...

A General Framework for Nondeterministic, Probabilistic, and Stochastic Noninterference
We introduce a notion of stochastic noninterference aimed at extending the classical approach to information flow analysis with fine-grain information describing the temporal behavior of systems. In particular...

Chapter
Weak Behavioral Equivalences for Verifying Secure and Performance-Aware Component-Based Systems
Component-based systems are characterized by several orthogonal requirements, ranging from security to quality of service, which may demand for the use of opposite strategies and interfering mechanisms. To ach...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Towards State Space Reduction Based on T-Lumpability-Consistent Relations
Markovian behavioral equivalences can be exploited for state space reduction before performance evaluation takes place. It is known that Markovian bisimilarity corresponds to ordinary lumpability and that Mark...

Non-synchronous Communications in Process Algebraic Architectural Description Languages
Architectural description languages are a useful tool for modeling complex software systems at a high level of abstraction and, if based on formal methods, for enabling the early verification of various proper...

Chapter
A Survey of Markovian Behavioral Equivalences
Markovian behavioral equivalences are a means to relate and manipulate the formal descriptions of systems with an underlying CTMC semantics. There are three fundamental approaches to their definition: bisimila...

Performance-Oriented Comparison of Web Services Via Client-Specific Testing Preorders
The behavior of a Web service can be described by means of a contract, which is a specification of the legal interactions with the service. Given a repository of Web services, from the client viewpoint a prope...

An Integrated View of Security Analysis and Performance Evaluation: Trading QoS with Covert Channel Bandwidth
Security analysis and performance evaluation are two fundamental activities in the system design process, which are usually carried out separately. Unfortunately, a purely qualitative analysis of the security ...
