In autonomic networks, the self-configuration of network entities is one of the most desirable properties. In this paper, we show how formal verification techniques can verify the ...
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 ...
— This paper reports on an experiment in network protocol design: we use novel rigorous techniques in the design process of a new protocol, in a close collaboration between syste...

Abstract This paper describes a formalisation of the lambda-calculus in a HOL-based theorem prover using nominal techniques. Central to the formalisation is an inductive set that i...
: Formal verification provides a rigid and thorough means of evaluating the correctness of cryptographic protocols so that even subtle defects can be identified. As the application...
