A variant of Rate Transition Systems (RTS), proposed by Klin and Sassone, is introduced and used as the basic model for defining stochastic behaviour of processes. The transition r...

A complete and decidable propositional logic for reasoning about states of probabilistic sequential programs is presented. The state logic is then used to obtain a sound Hoare-styl...
This paper describes a method for risk analysis based on the approach used in CRAMM, but instead of using discrete measures for threats and vulnerabilities and lookup tables to de...
We propose a situation calculus formalization of action domains that include numeric-valued fluents (so-called additive or measure fluents) and concurrency. Our approach allows fo...
By using an example from a robot navigating domain, we argue that to specify declaratively the behavior of an agent, we need to have a formal and explicit notion of \quality plans...
