Church's Higher Order Logic is a basis for proof assistants -- HOL and PVS. Church's logic has a simple set-theoretic semantics, making it trustworthy and extensible. We ...
A new synthesis technique for designing finite state machines with on-line parity checking is presented. The output logic and the next-state logic of the finite state machines are...

This paper analyzes a language for actions and the deontic modalities over actions -- i.e., the modalities permitted, forbidden and obligatory. The work is based on: (1) an action...
Abstract This paper describes a formalisation of the lambda-calculus in a HOL-based theorem prover using nominal techniques. Central to the formalisation is an inductive set that i...
