Peer-to-peer distributed virtual environments (DVE's) distribute state tracking and state transitions. Many DVE's - such as online games - require ways to fairly determi...
Objects model the world, and state is fundamental to a faithful modeling. Engineers use state machines to understand and reason about state transitions, but programming languages ...

Abstract. [Context and motivation] Ever-growing systems’ complexity and novel requirements engineering approaches such as reuse or globalization imply that requirements are produ...
Probabilistic inference techniques can be used to estimate variable bias, or the proportion of solutions to a given SAT problem that fix a variable positively or negatively. Metho...
