We describe a method for writing assumption/guarantee specifications of concurrent systems. We also provide a proof rule for reasoning about the composition of these systems. Spec...
We introduce a Janus-faced reference net component that presents the basis for the recursive composition of complex systems from open system units. We particularly focus on the ope...
In this paper we develop results based on geometric mechanics to study the controllability of a class of controlled under-actuated left invariant mechanical systems on Lie groups....
Network security has now become one of the most important aspects in computer systems and the Internet. Apart from strong encryption, there is no definite method of truly securing...

A formal model for description of passive and active timing attacks is presented, studied and compared with other security concepts. It is based on a timed process algebra and on a...
