In this paper we present a case study in deriving an algorithm from a formal specification via FermaT transformations. The general method (which is presented in a separate paper)...
This article presents the design of a new functional 2D image segmentation algorithm by cell merging in a subdivision, its proof of total correctness, and the derivation of an opt...
Jackal is a fine-grained distributed shared memory implementation of the Java programming language. It aims to implement Java’s memory model and allows multithreaded Java progr...

This paper describes the application of Real-Time Maude to the formal specification, simulation, and further formal analysis of the sophisticated state-of-the-art OGDC wireless se...
We present a novel approach, based on probabilistic formal methods, to developing cross-layer resource optimization policies for resource limited distributed systems. One objective...

We propose a framework for “probabilistic functional testing.” The success of a test data set generated according to our method guarantees a certain level of confidence into ...
In order to solve future Multi Level Security (MLS) problems, we have developed a solution based on the DARPA Polymorphous Computing Architecture (PCA). MLS-PCA uses a novel distr...
The first step in finding an efficient way to solve any difficult problem is making a complete, possibly formal, problem specification. This paper introduces a formal specifica...

The NRL Protocol Analyzer (NPA) is a tool for the formal specification and analysis of cryptographic protocols that has been used with great effect on a number of complex real-l...
Communities of autonomous units are being developed for formal specification and semantic analysis of systems of interacting and mobile components. The autonomous units of a commu...
