Abstract. Meta-levels are complex pieces of software with diverse demands in both the computation and interaction domains. Common techniques using just code to express behaviour fa...
Software components turn out to be a convenient model to build complex applications for scientific computing and to run them on a computational grid. However, deploying complex, co...
Information flow security properties such as noninterference ensure the protection of confidential data by strongly limiting the flow of sensitive information. However, to deal wi...
Traditional security policies largely focus on access control requirements, which specify who can access what under what circumstances. Besides access control requirements, the av...
While existing mathematical descriptions can accurately account for phenomena at microscopic scales (e.g. molecular dynamics), these are often high-dimensional, stochastic and thei...
