An access control system is often viewed as a state transition system. Given a set of access control policies, a general safety requirement in such a system is to determine whethe...
We introduce a new kernel language for modeling hardware/software systems, adopting multiple heterogenous models of computation. The language has formal operational semantics, and...
Abstract. The increasing complexity of today’s embedded systems applications imposes the requirements and constraints of distributed, heterogeneous subsystem interaction to softw...
Many recent research projects focus on language support for behavioral software contracts, that is, assertions that govern the boundaries between software building blocks such as ...
Abstract. The input to a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) consists of a set of variables, each with a domain, and constraints between these variables formulated by relations o...
