Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new approach for formal verification of hybrid systems. To do so, we present a new refinement proof technique, a weak refinement using step in...
Capability passing processes model global applications in a way that decouples the global agreement aspects of protocols from the details of how the communications are actually ma...
Abstract. Despite more then 30 years of research on protocol specification, the major protocols deployed in the Internet, such as TCP, are described only in informal prose RFCs and...
Abstract. We devise a theoretical model for dichotomic search algorithms for constrained optimization. We show that, within our model, a certain way of choosing the breaking point ...
Abstract. The newscast model is a general approach for communication in large agent-based distributed systems. The two basic services— membership management and information disse...
