Today’s mainstream object-oriented compilers and tools do not support declaring and statically checking simple pre- and postconditions on methods and invariants on object represe...
Research on how to reason about correctness properties of software systems using model checking is advancing rapidly. Work on exnite-state models from program source code and on ab...

The well-known problem of state space explosion in model checking is even more critical when applying this technique to programming languages, mainly due to the presence of complex...
Abstract. It has often been claimed that model checking, special purpose automated deduction or interactive theorem proving are needed for formal program development. Recently, it ...
We address the programmatic realization of the access control model of security in distributed systems. Our aim is e the gap between abstract/declarative policies and their concre...
