We define a new model called O-PRS that extends the Process Rewrite Systems formalism with a new associative operator, “ ”, that allows to model parallel composition while ke...
We prove the Needham-Schroeder-Lowe public-key protocol secure under real, active cryptographic attacks including concurrent protocol runs. This proof is based on an abstract crypt...
Interacting State Machines (ISMs) are used to model reactive systems and to express and verify their properties. They can be seen both as automata exchanging messages simultaneousl...
The Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS) project has been initiated by NASA to explore the use of computer simulation in the development of new aircraft propulsion techno...
Stepwise refinement is at the core of many approaches to synthesis and optimization of hardware and software systems. For instance, it can be used to build a synthesis approach for...
