In this paper we investigate the addition of first-class relationships to a prototypical object-oriented programming language (a “middleweight” fragment of Java). We provide ...
This paper presents a formal model for asynchronous distributed systems with servers that may exhibit Byzantine faults or crash and subsequently recover. The model is computationa...
We investigate rule dependency graphs and their colorings for characterizing the computation of answer sets of logic programs. To this end, we develop a series of operational chara...
We study the roles of message components in authentication protocols. In particular, we investigate how a certain component contributes to the task of achieving entity authenticati...
A team automaton is said to satisfy compositionality if its behaviour can be described in terms of the behaviour of its constituting component automata. As an initial investigation...
