Fault-tolerant (FT) distributed protocols (such as group membership, consensus, etc.) represent fundamental building blocks for many practical systems, e.g., the Google File System...
Abstract. Theorem provers, model checkers, static analyzers, test generators. . . all of these and many other kinds of formal methods tools can contribute to the analysis and devel...
Embedded devices like smart cards can now run multiple interacting applications. A particular challenge in this domain is to dynamically integrate diverse security policies. In th...
We show that characteristic formulae for nite-state systems up to bisimulationlike equivalences (e.g., strong and weak bisimilarity) can be given in the simple branching-time temp...
Current numerical model checkers for stochastic systems can efficiently analyse stochastic models. However, the fact that they are unable to provide debugging information constrain...
