We examine a bidirectional Propositional Dynamic Logic (PDL) for message sequence charts (MSCs) extending LTL and TLC− . Every formula is translated into an equivalent communicat...
Hybrid logics extend modal logics by first-order concepts, in particular they allow a limited use of variables. Unfortunately, in general, satisfiability for hybrid formulas is u...
This paper introduces a framework for security-oriented software service composition and evolution. Key building blocks of the framework are a semantic model for specifying the se...
This paper introduces a fault-tolerant group communication protocol that is aimed at grid and wide area environments. The protocol has two layers. The lower layer provides a total...
Stochastic Shortest Path problems (SSPs) can be efficiently dealt with by the Real-Time Dynamic Programming algorithm (RTDP). Yet, RTDP requires that a goal state is always reach...
