We introduce PLC-Automata as a new class of automata which are tailored to deal with real-time properties of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). These devices are often used in...
We analyze the multi-party contract-signing protocols of Garay and MacKenzie (GM) and of Baum and Waidner (BW). We use a finite-state tool, MOCHA, which allows specification of pr...
This paper presents a framework to define a semantics for a real-time object-orientation programming language and to verify programs written in the language. The semantics is defi...
New Zernike velocity moments have been developed to describe an object, not only by its shape , but also by its motion throughout an image sequence. These are an extended form of ...
This paper investigates the properties of Metric Temporal Logic (MTL) over models in which time is dense but phenomena are constrained to have bounded variability. Contrary to the ...
