Presents a detailed study of the major design components that constitute a top-down decision-tree induction algorithm, including aspects such as split criteria, stopping criteria, pruning and the approaches for dealing with missing values. Whereas the strategy still employed nowadays is to use a 'generic' decision-tree induction...

Concurrent processes can exhibit extremely complicated behavior, and neither informal reasoning nor testing is reliable enough to establish their correctness. In this thesis, we develop a new technique for the verification of parallel programs. The technique is stated in terms of axioms and inference rules, and it is used to prove...
