The use of lookup tables can reduce the complexity of calculation of functions defined typically by mathematical recurrence relations. Although this technique has been adopted by...
Probabilistic models are useful for analyzing systems which operate under the presence of uncertainty. In this paper, we present a technique for verifying safety and liveness prop...
We present a general theory for the use of negative premises in the rules of Transition System Specifications (TSSs). We formulate a criterion that should be satisfied by a TSS in ...
In science and engineering courses, students are often presented a situation for which they are asked to identify the relevant principles and to instantiate them as a set of equat...
In this paper we propose a new approach to investigate the security of the McEliece cryptosystem. We recall that this cryposystem relies on the use of error-correcting codes. Since...
