The Event-B method is a formal approach to modelling systems, using refinement. Initial specification is a high level of abstraction; detail is added in refinement steps as the de...
Google's MapReduce programming model serves for processing large data sets in a massively parallel manner. We deliver the first rigorous description of the model including it...
WS-SecurityPolicy is a declarative language for configuring web services security mechanisms. We describe a formal semantics for WS-SecurityPolicy and propose a more abstract lang...
