The Hoare approach to program verification relies on the construction and discharge of verification conditions (VCs) but offers no support to trace, analyze, and understand the VCs...
High assurance security is di cult to achieve in distributed computer systems and databases because of their complexity, non-determinism and inherent heterogeneity. The practical ...
Data decomposition is probably the most successful method for generating parallel programs. In this paper a general framework is described for the automatic generation of parallel...

As an alternative to planning, an approach to highlevel agent control based on concurrent program execution is considered. A formal definition in the situation calculus of such a ...
A complete and decidable propositional logic for reasoning about states of probabilistic sequential programs is presented. The state logic is then used to obtain a sound Hoare-styl...
