Abstract:
As a consequence of the growing adoption of agent-based simulations as decision making tools in various (potentially also critical) areas, questions of veracity and validity become increasingly important. In general software and hardware development, formal verification – particularly model checking – has been applied successfully to a wide range of problems; due to their immense complexity, however, agent-based simulations lend themselves to conventional formal verification only in very simple cases and at a disproportionately high cost. The purpose of this work is to address this problem and

Abstract:
This thesis describes the development and application of statistical circuit simulation methodologies to analyse digital circuits subject to intrinsic parameter fluctuations. The specific nature of intrinsic parameter fluctuations are discussed, and we explain the crucial importance to the semiconductor industry of developing design tools which accurately account for their effects. Current work in the area is reviewed, and three important factors are made clear: any statistical circuit simulation methodology must be based on physically correct, predictive models of device variability; the stat

Instead of a linear and smooth evolution, many physical system react to external stimuli in avalanche dynamics. When an out of equilibrium system governed by disorder is externally driven the evolution of internal variables is local and non-homogeneous.

Avalanche dynamics are associated to the transformation of spatial domains in different scales: from microscopic, to large catastrophic events such as earthquakes or solar flares.

The interaction between two proteins into salt aqueous solutions is investigated throughout this thesis.
