The Framework of Selective Interleaving Functions and the Modular Assembly Kit for Security Properties both provide a basis for the uniform representation and formal analysis of n...
We present a new approach for reasoning about liveness properties of distributed systems, represented as automata. Our approach is based on simulation relations, and requires reas...
nt programs require high-level abstractions in order to manage complexity and enable compositional reasoning. In this paper, we introduce a novel concurrency abstraction, dubbed t...
Security automata are a variant of B¨uchi automata used to specify security policies that can be enforced by monitoring system execution. In this paper, we propose using CSP-OZ, ...
Formal models of geographic space should support reasoning about its static and dynamic properties, its objects, their behaviors, and the relationships between them. Image schemas,...
