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...
nt formal speci cations of a new abstraction, weak sets, which can be used to alleviate high latencies when retrieving data from a wide-area information system like the World Wide...
Whole-file transfer is a basic primitive for Internet content dissemination. Content servers are increasingly limited by disk arm movement given the rapid growth in disk density, ...
