We present an interface theory based approach to static analysis of actor models. We first introduce a new interface theory, which is based on Interface Automata, and which is ca...
System specifications have long been expressed through automata-based languages, enabling verification techniques such as model checking. These verification techniques can assess ...
Compositional semantics allow to reason about programs in an incremental way, thus providing the formal base for the development of modular data-flow analyses. The major drawback ...
Abstract. We propose a framework for reasoning about program security building on language-theoretic and coalgebraic concepts. The behaviour of a system is viewed as a mapping from...
This paper presents computer simulations which investigate the effect that different group sizes have on the emergence of compositional structures in languages. The simulations are...
