Donation Center Location Problem
We introduce and study the donation center location problem, which has an additional application in network testing and may also be of independent interest as a general graph-theor...

Simulation based security in the applied pi calculus
We present a symbolic framework for refinement and composition of security protocols. ework uses the notion of ideal functionalities. These are abstract systems which are secure b...

The Power of Depth 2 Circuits over Algebras
We study the problem of polynomial identity testing (PIT) for depth 2 arithmetic circuits over matrix algebra. We show that identity testing of depth 3 (ΣΠΣ) arithmetic circuit...

On Timed Alternating Simulation for Concurrent Timed Games
We address the problem of alternating simulation refinement for concurrent timed games (TG). We show that checking timed alternating simulation between TG is EXPTIME-complete, and...

On Nondeterministic Unranked Tree Automata with Sibling Constraints
ABSTRACT. We continue the study of bottom-up unranked tree automata with equality and disequality constraints between direct subtrees. In particular, we show that the emptiness pro...

Fighting bit Rot with Types (Experience Report: Scala Collections)
We report on our experiences in redesigning Scala’s collection libraries, focussing on the role that type systems play in keeping software architectures coherent over time. Type ...

Kolmogorov Complexity in Randomness Extraction
We clarify the role of Kolmogorov complexity in the area of randomness extraction. We show that a computable function is an almost randomness extractor if and only if it is a Kolm...

Nash Equilibrium in Generalised Muller Games
We suggest that extending Muller games with preference ordering for players is a natural way to reason about unbounded duration games. In this context, we look at the standard solu...
