We investigate the logical issues behind axiomatizing equations that contain both recursive calls and quantifiers in ACL2. We identify a class of such equations, named extended ta...
Today many formalisms exist for specifying complex Markov chains. In contrast, formalism for specifying the quantitative properties to analyze have remained quite primitive. In th...
In the paper we examine one of the issues in designing, specifying, implementing and formally verifying a small operating system kernel -- how to provide a productive and iterativ...

Abstract. We present a formal verification methodology for datapathdominated hardware. This provides a systematic but flexible framework within which to organize the activities und...

This paper proposes a formalism for reasoning about distributed object-oriented computations. The formalism is an extension of Milner’s CCS with the notion of local time. It allo...
