We show how to reason about “step-indexed” logitions in an abstract way, avoiding the tedious, error-prone, and proof-obscuring step-index arithmetic that seems superficially...
Abstract. The motivation for this work is to support a natural separation of concerns during formal system development. In a developmentby-refinement context, we would like to be a...
Crowdsourcing is emerging as a wellspring of creative designs. This paper examines the mechanisms that support collective design. A sequential combination system is described: one ...
When the BaBar experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center starts in April 1999, it will generate approximately 200TB/year of data at a rate of 10MB/sec for 10 years. A m...
