Workstation clusters are becoming an interesting alternative to dedicated multiprocessors. In this environment, the probability of a failure, during an application's executio...
The notion of belief has been useful in reasoning about authentication protocols. In this paper, we show how the notion of belief can be applied to reasoning about cache coherence...

In this paper, we investigate the practical performance of lock-free techniques that provide synchronization on shared-memory multiprocessors. Our goal is to provide a technique t...
We describe a method for writing assumption/guarantee specifications of concurrent systems. We also provide a proof rule for reasoning about the composition of these systems. Spec...
