Model-checking circus with FDR using circus2csp
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2019)The current lack of tool support for model-checking Circus, a formalism which combines Z, CSP, refinement calculus and Dijkstra's guarded commands, is one of the constraints for its use at industrial scale. Nowadays, it ... -
Market Disequilibrium and the Impact of News Sentiment
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Computer Science & Statistics. Discipline of Computer Science, 2018)The market price of any stock or financial instrument listed on an exchange would be assumed to be observed price, though we believe there is always a true price (or fair market value) of any. The market value and market ... -
Automatic vectorization through superword level parellelism with associative chain re-ordering and loop shifting
