Abstract. We propose a theory of time-bounded verification for realtime systems, in which verification queries are phrased over time intervals of fixed, bounded duration. We argue ...
Accountability mechanisms, which rely on after-the-fact verification, are an attractive means to enforce authorization policies. In this paper, we describe an operational model of ...

Just as actions can have indirect effects on the state of the world, so too can sensing actions have indirect effects on an agent's state of knowledge. In this paper, we inve...
This paper generalises the theory of agent refinement from [1] to multi-agent systems in the presence of new coordination mechanisms extended with real time. The generalisation is ...

Schneider's work on rank functions [14] provides a formal approach to verification of certain properties of a security protocol. However, he illustrates the approach only wit...
