Abstract. A popular approach to compositional verification of component-based applications is based on the assume-guarantee paradigm, where an assumption models behavior of an env...
This paper continues the program initiated in [5], towards a derivation system for security protocols. The general idea is that complex protocols can be formally derived, starting...

The interface definition of a component in a distributed system forms the contract between the component itself and its neighbouring components regarding the use of its services....
In open societies of agents, where agents are autonomous and heterogeneous, it is not realistic to assume that agents will always act so as to comply to interaction protocols. Thu...
