Abstract. We propose a new formalisation of stability for Rely-Guarantee, in which an assertion's stability is encoded into its syntactic form. This allows two advances in mod...
Rely-guarantee (RG) reasoning is useful for modular Hoare-style proofs of concurrent programs. However, RG requires that assertions be proved stable under the actions of the enviro...
Abstract. In the quest for tractable methods for reasoning about concurrent algorithms both rely/guarantee logic and separation logic have made great advances. They both seek to ta...
We show how to combine trust management theories with nonce-based cryptographic protocols. The strand space framework for protocol analysis is extended by associating formulas from...
