Abstract. When designing an open system, there might be no implementation available for certain components at verification time. For such systems, verification has to be based on a...
ABSTRACT. It has long been recognized that the concept of inconsistency is a central part of commonsense reasoning. In this issue, a number of authors have explored the idea of rea...
Many approaches to software verification are currently semi-automatic: a human must provide key logical insights — e.g., loop invariants, class invariants, and frame axioms tha...
The goal of this work is to treat safety and security policies as requirements to be composed in an aspectual style with a developing application. Policies can be expressed either...
Abstract. We introduce the notion of array-based system as a suittraction of infinite state systems such as broadcast protocols or sorting programs. By using a class of quantified-...
