In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the ill-de nedness of biotechnological processes, in particular the uncertainties attached to their models. Since both white-box and black-box models have their disadvantages, a mix between both formalisms is desirable. This formalism consists of grey-box models. In continuous time grey-box models often are described by stochastic di erenti...

Test case prioritization is a technique to improve software testing. Although many works have investigated test case prioritization, they focus on white box testing or regression testing. However, software testing is often outsourced to a software testing company that employs black box testing. Herein a framework is proposed to prioritize test cases for black box testing on a new product using ...

The black-box view of an interactive component describes the input/output behaviour based on communication histories. The glass-box view discloses the component’s internal state where the inputs effect an update of the state. We formally derive different glass-box views of an interactive fault-sensitive stack from a common black-box view. The transformation uses higher-order functions where the...

Partitioned coupling approaches are an important tool in order to achieve a decent time-to-solution for multi-physics problems with more than two physical fields or changing combinations of fields. We study different approaches to deduce coupling schemes for partitioned multi-physics scenarios, by means of a simple, but yet challenging fluid-structure-fluid model problem. To our knowledge, this...

Assuming t-round statistically hiding commitments in the stand-alone model, we build a (t+ 2)-round statistically binding commitment secure against selective opening attacks under parallel composition. In particular, assuming collisionresistant hash functions, we build such commitments in 4 rounds.

In this theoretical paper we generalize the notion of minimal repair to the heterogeneous case, when the lifetime distribution function can be modeled by continuous or a discrete mixture of distributions. The statistical (black box) minimal repair and the minimal repair based on information just before the failure of an object are considered. The corresponding failure (intensity) rate processes...
