An access control system is often viewed as a state transition system. Given a set of access control policies, a general safety requirement in such a system is to determine whethe...
Labelled Markov processes (LMPs) are automata whose transitions are given by probability distributions. In this paper we present a ‘universal’ LMP as the spectrum of a commutat...
We propose a type system based on regular tree grammars, where algebraic datatypes are interpreted in a structural way. Thus, the same constructors can be reused for different typ...
Since the early Sixties and Seventies it has been known that the regular and context-free languages arc characterized by definability in the monadic second-order theory of certain...
Security protocols are small programs designed to ensure properties such as secrecy of messages or authentication of parties in a hostile environment. In this paper we investigate ...
