We investigate the computational complexity of reasoning about multi-agent systems using the cooperation logic ATL of Alur, Henzinger, and Kupferman. It is known that satisfiabili...

This paper is part of a line of work on using the logical techniques of polarity and focusing to design a dependent programming language, with particular emphasis on programming w...
Abstract. This case study applies techniques of formal program development by specification refinement and composition to the problem of concurrent garbage collection. The speci...
