We consider complex systems that are composed of many interacting elements, evolving under some dynamics. We are interested in characterizing the ways in which these elements may b...

We propose an effective and complete method for verifying safety and properties of timed systems, which is based on predicate abstraction for g finite abstractions of timed autom...
A virtual organization (VO) is a dynamic collection of entities (individuals, enterprises, and information resources) collaborating on some computational activity. VOs are an emer...
Real computing systems sometimes need to forget sensitive information. This paper explores the specification and semantics of information erasure policies, which impose a strong,...
: Nowadays, software evolution is a very hot topic. It is particularly complex when it regards critical and nonstopping systems. Usually, these situations are tackled by hard-codin...
