A calculus for developing programs from specifications written as predicates that describe the relationship between the initial and final state is proposed. Such specifications are...
We present several e cient algorithms for sorting on the uniform memory hierarchy UMH, introduced by Alpern, Carter, and Feig, and its parallelization P-UMH. We give optimal and ne...
We present SPNP, a powerful GSPN package developed at Duke University. SPNP allows the modeling of complex system behaviors. Advanced constructs are available, such as markingdepe...

In this paper, we present a method for generating checker circuits from sequential-extended regular expressions (SEREs). Such sequences form the core of increasingly-used Assertion...
Formal specifications of protocol-oriented agent interactions have focused mainly on the semantics of the constituent agent communication language (ACL). We argue that a proper th...
