We present a compositional semantics of synchronous systems that captures both safety and progress properties of such systems. The fair synchronous transitions systems (fsts) mode...
nt formal speci cations of a new abstraction, weak sets, which can be used to alleviate high latencies when retrieving data from a wide-area information system like the World Wide...
Roughly speaking, adequatness is the property of a theorem proving method to solve simpler problems faster than more difficult ones. Automated inferencing methods are often not ad...
Software designs decay over time. While most studies focus on decay at the system level, this research studies design decay on well understood micro architectures, design patterns...
Background: Biological databases and pathway knowledgebases are proliferating rapidly. We are developing software tools for computer-aided hypothesis design and evaluation, and we...
