The notion of partial and evolutionary specification has gained attention both in research and industry in the last years. While many people regard this just as a process issue, w...
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...
We present a dynamic programming approach for the solution of first-order Markov decisions processes. This technique uses an MDP whose dynamics is represented in a variant of the ...
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 ...
This paper presents a game semantics for a simply-typed -calculus equipped with quantum stores. The quantum stores are equipped with quantum operations as commands which give the ...
