Abstract. We describe how the PVS verification system has been used to verify a safety property of a garbage collection algorithm, originally suggested by Ben-Ari. The safety prope...
Abstract. We focus on discrete event systems with a structure of parallel processing, synchronization, and noconcurrency. We use max-plus algebra, which is an effective approach fo...
Relational Database Systems often support activities like data warehousing, cleaning and integration. All these activities require performing some sort of data transformations. Si...
Abstract. Refinement plays a crucial role in "top-down" styles of verification, such as the refinement calculus, but for probabilistic systems proof of refinement is a pa...
Abstract. This paper presents AROM, a new object-based knowledge representation system. AROM is original in two ways. Firstly, in addition to classes, knowledge representation in A...
