Compositional Minimization Sample Clauses

Compositional Minimization. Compositional model checking is one of the proposed methods for dealing with the problem of state explosion [50, 51, 123]. In the compositional verification of a system, one seeks to verify properties of the system using the properties of its constituent modules. In general, compositional verification may be exploited more effectively when the model is naturally decomposable [128]. In particular, a model consisting of inherently independent modules is suitable for compositional verification. A special case of compositional verification is the method of equivalence based compositional reduction. In this method components of a sys- tem are reduced with respect to an equivalence relation before building the complete sys- tem [60, 50, 79, 82]. In order to be useful in model checking, the selected equivalence relation should satisfy two properties: preservation of all properties to be verified and being a congruence relation with respect to all operators that are used for composing the models. By a congruence relation we mean that the replacement of a component of a model by an equivalent one should always yield a model which is equivalent to the original one. Thus, two main criteria for selecting an equivalence relation to be used for reducing the models are the set of properties to be veri- fied and the composition operators that are used over the models. If using of an equivalence relation to reduce the size of models produces the smallest ones, we refer to the reduction procedure as minimization. For example, in the context of failure based semantic models of the process description language LOTOS, there are two equivalence relations, called chaos-free failures divergences (CFFD) and non-divergent failure divergences (NDFD), which satisfy the preservation prop- erty for two fragments of linear temporal logic. NDFD preserves all properties that are ex- pressible in linear time temporal logic without next-time operator (called LTL−X ) [86]. Also, CFFD preserves all properties that are expressible in linear temporal logic without the next- time operator but with an extra operator that distinguishes deadlocks from divergences (called LTLω) [141, 142]. Also, it has been shown that CFFD and NDFD are the weakest equiva- lence relations that preserve the above mentioned fragments of linear temporal logic. In other words, they both produce the minimized transition systems with respect to the preserved temporal logics. Moreover, it has been shown that in the case of ...

  • Unbundled Channelization (Multiplexing) 5.7.1 To the extent NewPhone is purchasing DS1 or DS3 or STS-1 Dedicated Transport pursuant to this Agreement, Unbundled Channelization (UC) provides the optional multiplexing capability that will allow a DS1 (1.544 Mbps) or DS3 (44.736 Mbps) or STS-1 (51.84 Mbps) Network Elements to be multiplexed or channelized at a BellSouth central office. Channelization can be accomplished through the use of a multiplexer or a digital cross-connect system at the discretion of BellSouth. Once UC has been installed, NewPhone may request channel activation on a channelized facility and BellSouth shall connect the requested facilities via COCIs. The COCI must be compatible with the lower capacity facility and ordered with the lower capacity facility. This service is available as defined in NECA 4.

  • Aggravating and Mitigating Factors The penalties in this matter were determined in consideration of all relevant circumstances, including statutory factors as described in CARB’s Enforcement Policy. CARB considered whether the violator came into compliance quickly and cooperated with the investigation; the extent of harm to public health, safety and welfare; nature and persistence of the violation, including the magnitude of the excess emissions; compliance history; preventative efforts taken; innovative nature and the magnitude of the effort required to comply, and the accuracy, reproducibility, and repeatability of the available test methods; efforts to attain, or provide for, compliance prior to violation; action taken to mitigate the violation; financial burden to the violator; and voluntary disclosure. The penalties are set at levels sufficient to deter violations, to remove any economic benefit or unfair advantage from noncompliance, to obtain swift compliance, and the potential costs, risks, and uncertainty associated with litigation. Penalties in future cases might be smaller or larger depending on the unique circumstances of the case.

  • Self Scheduling The Home and the Union may agree to implement a self-scheduling process. Self-scheduling is the mechanism by which employees in a Home create their own work schedules. The purpose of self scheduling is to improve job satisfaction and quality of work life for the participating employees. Self scheduling requires a collaboration of employees and management to ensure proper coverage of the Home and to meet the provisions of the Collective Agreement. It is agreed that self scheduling will be negotiated locally by the Home and the Union and will include a trial period. Each Home must have the majority agreement of the full-time and part-time employees who vote on the issue to agree on a trial period of up to six months. Once the trial period is complete, each Home must have a minimum of 66⅔% agreement of the full-time and part-time employees who vote on the issue to continue with the new schedule on a permanent basis.
