In this paper, we propose the nevertrace claim, which is a new construct for specifying the correctness properties that either finite or infinite execution traces (i.e., sequence...
We define quantitative similarity functions between timed transition systems that measure the degree of closeness of two systems as a real, in contrast to the traditional boolean ...

There has been great progress in recent years on developing effective techniques for reasoning about program equivalence in ML-like languages—that is, languages that combine fea...

This paper introduces a new optimization technique called hyperplane annealing. It is similar to the mean field annealing approach to combinatorial optimization. Both annealing te...
The need for a design language that is rigorous but accessible and intuitive is often at odds with the formal and mathematical nature of languages used for analysis. UML and Petri ...
