The Hoare approach to program verification relies on the construction and discharge of verification conditions (VCs) but offers no support to trace, analyze, and understand the VCs...
We present a dynamic programming approach for the solution of first-order Markov decisions processes. This technique uses an MDP whose dynamics is represented in a variant of the ...
High assurance security is di cult to achieve in distributed computer systems and databases because of their complexity, non-determinism and inherent heterogeneity. The practical ...
This paper presents a game semantics for a simply-typed -calculus equipped with quantum stores. The quantum stores are equipped with quantum operations as commands which give the ...
The work of Abadi and Fournet introduces the notion of a frame to describe the knowledge of the environment of a cryptographic protocol. Frames are lists of terms; two frames are ...
