A certified binary is a value together with a proof that the value satisfies a given specification. Existing compilers that generate certified code have focused on simple memory and control-flow safety rather than more advanced properties. In this paper, we present a general framework

A framework for creating value robust systems in the face of changing value perceptions during the architecture and design of systems is proposed. Both unarticulated value, that which is not explicitly communicated to system designers, and dynamic value, that which changes over time, are used

analysis of the computation. Considering only the Sylvester matrix singular values, as is frequently suggested in the literature, does not suffice to solve the problem completely, even when the extended euclidean algorithm is also used. We provide a counterexample that illustrates this claim and indicates

This research develops an approach to designing and valuing flexible systems subject to identified future uncertainties. The approach addresses two shortcomings of current design and decision-making practices that are particularly evident in the buildings industry: 1) systems are designed as though

Survivability is the ability of a system to minimize the impact of a finite-duration disturbance on value delivery (i.e., stakeholder benefit at cost), achieved through (1) the reduction of the likelihood or magnitude of a disturbance, (2) the satisfaction of a minimally acceptable level of value

is that redevelopment of a particular retail center improves the value of the single-family (SF) residential properties surrounding that center. The redevelopment use can be altered to include strictly retail, but preferably includes a mix of uses – such as retail, residential, and/or office – that combine to satisfy

for the carbon release at the PETM have been proposed. Common to all scenarios is rapid release of isotopically light carbon (<13C/12C values) from methane hydrates, terrestrial or marine organic matter, as indicated by a pronounced excursion to light carbon isotope values across the PETM. I test

a valued and-or acyclic graph to represent the possible estimates. These algorithms specifically use a valued smooth deterministic decomposable negation normal form (sd-DNNF) representation, a type of and-or acyclic graph. Prior work has focused on extracting either all or only the best solution

options analysis that provides a theoretical foundation for quantifying the value of flexibility. Real options analysis has traditionally been applied to the valuation of capital investment decisions by considering managerial flexibility. More recently, real options have been applied to the
