We overview the development of first-order automated reasoning systems starting from their early years. Based on the analysis of current and potential applications of such systems...
Abstract. We exhibit a methodology for formulating and verifying metatheorems about deductive systems in the Elf language, an implementation of the LF Logical Framework with an ope...
Abstract--We present a refinement-based compositional framework for showing that pipelined machines satisfy the same safety and liveness properties as their non-pipelined specifica...
In this paper we define a sequent calculus to formally specify, simulate, debug and verify security protocols. In our sequents we distinguish between the current knowledge of prin...
Abstract--Many heterogeneous embedded systems, for example industrial automation and automotive applications, require hard-real time constraints to be exhaustively verified - which...
