Abstract. Security protocols aim at securing communications over public networks. Their design is notoriously difficult and error-prone. Formal methods have shown their usefulness ...
Probabilistic model checking is a formal verification framework for systems which exhibit stochastic behaviour. It has been successfully applied to a wide range of domains, includ...
We introduce a rewrite-based specification language for modelling probabilistic concurrent and distributed systems. The language, based on PMaude, has both a rigorous formal basis...
