    • Abstract Architecture Representation Using VSPEC 

      Baraona, Phillip; Alexander, Perry (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 1999)
      Complex digital systems are often decomposed into architectures very early in the design process. Unfortunately, traditional simulation based languages such as VHDL do not allow the impact of these architectural decisions ...
    • Defining a formal coalgebraic semantics for the rosetta specification language 

      Kong, Cindy; Alexander, Perry; Menon, Catherine (Graz University of Technology, Institut für Informationssysteme und Computer Medien, 2003)
      Rosetta is a systems level design language that allows algebraic specification of systems through facets. The usual approach to formally describe a specification is to define an algebra that satisfies the specification. ...

      Grossi, Roberto; Vitter, Jeffrey Scott (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2005)
      The proliferation of online text, such as found on the World Wide Web and in online databases, motivates the need for space-efficient text indexing methods that support fast string searching. We model this scenario as ...
    • Efficient Bundle Sorting 

      Matias, Yossi; Segal, Eran; Vitter, Jeffrey Scott (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2006)
      Many data sets to be sorted consist of a limited number of distinct keys. Sorting such data sets can be thought of as bundling together identical keys and having the bundles placed in order; we therefore denote this as ...
