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...
Fairness is an important concept in design and implementation of distributed systems. At the specification level, fairness usually serves as an assumption for proving liveness. At ...
We develop new proof techniques, based on non-interference, for the analysis of safety and liveness properties of cryptographic protocols expressed as terms of the process algebra ...
Impossible futures equivalence is the semantic equivalence on labelled transition systems that identifies systems iff they have the same "AGEF" properties: temporal logic...
In protocol composition techniques, component protocols are combined in various ways to obtain a complex protocol whose execution sequences consist of interleaved execution sequen...
