Coordination languages were introduced in the early 80's as programming notations to manage the interaction among concurrent collaborating software entities. Process algebras...
We provide an equational theory for Restricted Broadcast Process Theory to reason about ad hoc networks. We exploit an extended algebra called Computed Network Theory to axiomatize...
This paper presents a security characterisation process framework for software components and their compositions in order to address the issue of trust in component based software...
for reasoning about abstract models of protocols. The work on informal methods attempts to discern common patterns in the extensive record of flawed protocols, and to formulate po...
