We consider instantiation-based theorem proving whereby instances of clauses are generated by certain inferences, and where inconsistency is detected by propositional tests. We gi...
The complexity of distributed systems is a problem when designers want to evaluate their safety and liveness. Often, they are built by integration of existing components with newl...
—We show that Kripke semantics of modal logic, manifest in the syntactic proof formalism of labeled sequent calculi, can be used to solve three central problems in access control...
An application generator has resulted from the authors' efforts to improve the development of interactive database applications. The developed tool is based on a meta-base. T...
Functional validation is a major bottleneck in pipelined processor design. Simulation using functional test vectors is the most widely used form of processor validation. While exi...
