This tutorial paper discusses a particular style of operational semantics that enables one to give a ‘syntax-directed’ inductive definition of termination which is very useful...
Abstract. We discuss the special requirements imposed on the underlying cipher of systems which encrypt each sector of a disk partition independently, and demonstrate a certificati...
We present a method for pipeline verification using SMT solvers. It is based on a non-deterministic “mother pipeline” machine (MOP) that abstracts the instruction set archite...
This paper addresses the issue of fault-tolerance in applications that make use of network storage. A network abstraction called the Network Storage Stack is presented, along with...

Abstract. In this paper we de ne a precise notion of abstraction relation between continuous dynamical systems and discrete state-transition systems. Our main result states that ev...
