This tutorial paper discusses a particular style of operational semantics that enables one to give a ‘syntax-directed’ inductive definition of termination which is very useful...
Abstract. We presents a compositional Hoare logic for proving semantic security of modes of operation for symmetric key block ciphers. We propose a simple programming language to s...
Abstract. We relate two well-studied methodologies in deductive verification of operationally modeled sequential programs, namely the use of inductive invariants and clock functio...
This paper studies inductive definitions involving binders, in which aliasing between free and bound names is permitted. Such aliasing occurs in informal specifications of operatio...
Abstract. The limitations of deductive logic-based approaches at deriving operational knowledge from ontologies may be overcome by inductive (instancebased) methods, which are usua...
