In many systems, items of information have owners associated with them. An owner of an item of information may want the system to enforce a policy that restricts use of that infor...
Graph transformation systems have been introduced for the formal specification of software systems. States are thereby modeled as graphs, and computations as graph derivations acco...
There is a growing recognition of the need to apply formal mathematical methods in the design of \high con dence" computing systems. Such systems operate in safety critical co...
Functionality-based recognition systems recognize objects at the category level by reasoning about how well the objects support the expected function. Such systems naturally assoc...
Secure software engineering is a new research area that has been proposed to address security issues during the development of software systems. This new area of research advocates...
