Graph transformation systems have been introduced for the formal specification of software systems. States are thereby modeled as graphs, and computations as graph derivations acco...
In seeking a unified study of computational effects, in particular in order to give a general operational semantics agreeing with the standard one for state, one must take account...
The design productivity gap has been recognized by the semiconductor industry as one of the major threats to the continued growth of system-on-chips and embedded systems. Ad-hoc sy...
We present a first-order extension of the algebraic theory about processes known as ACP and its main models. Useful predicates on processes, such as deadlock freedom and determini...
Several formal languages have been proposed to encode privacy policies, ranging from the Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P), intended for communicating privacy policies to con...
