Refinement is the notion of development between formal specifications. For specifications given in a relational formalism, downward and upward simulations are the standard meth...
Abstract. We address the issue of efficiently automating assume-guarantee reasoning for simulation conformance between finite state systems and specifications. We focus on a non...

There are many different ways of proving formulas in proposition logic. Many of these can easily be characterized as forms of resolution (e.g. [12] and [9]). Others use so-called...
The lazy caching algorithm of Afek, Brown, and Merrit (1993) is a protocol that allows the use of local caches with delayed updates. It results in a memory model that is not atomi...
The last decade has seen a revival of interest in pebble games in the context of proof complexity. Pebbling has proven to be a useful tool for studying resolution-based proof syst...
