Abstract. Probabilistic timed automata are an extension of timed automata with discrete probability distributions. Simulation and bisimulation relations are widely-studied in the c...
The importance of distributed systems is growing as computing devices become ubiquitous and bandwidth becomes plentiful. Concurrency and distribution pose algorithmic and implemen...
Protocol conversion involves the use of a converter to control communication between two or more protocols such that desired system-level specifications can be satisfied. We invest...
Manna and Pnueli have extensively shown how a mixture of first-order logic (FOL) and discrete Linear time Temporal Logic (LTL) is sufficient to precisely state verification problem...
Church's Higher Order Logic is a basis for proof assistants -- HOL and PVS. Church's logic has a simple set-theoretic semantics, making it trustworthy and extensible. We ...
