We propose an epistemic logic for the applied pi calculus, which is a variant of the pi calculus with extensions for modeling cryptographic protocols. In such a calculus, the secur...
Abstract. Building complex component-based software systems, for instance communication systems based on the Click, Coyote, Appia, or Dream frameworks, can lead to subtle assemblag...

We consider the following problem: For a system consisting of two components, the behavior of one component is known as well as the desired global behavior. What should be the beha...
Orc was originally presented as a process calculus. It has now evolved into a full programming language, which we describe in this paper. The language has the structure and feel of...

We present a strategy for model-checking the correctness of service composition. We do so in the context of SRML, a formal modelling framework for service-oriented computing being ...
Formal modelling is indispensable for engineering highly dependable systems. However, a wider acceptance of formal methods is hindered by their insufficient usability and scalabili...

Abstract. Atomicity Decomposition is a technique in the Event-B formal method, which augments Event-B refinement with additional structuring in a diagrammatic notation to support c...
This paper reviews the model of interactive Markov chains (IMCs, for short), an extension of labelled transition systems with exponentially delayed transitions. We show that IMCs a...
Abstract. The paradigms of service-oriented computing and modeldriven development are becoming of increasing importance in the field of software engineering. According to these par...
