This paper presents a quantification of the timing effects that advanced processor features like data and instruction cache, pipelines, branch prediction units and out-oforder ex...
Abstract. Proof-carrying code (PCC) allows a code producer to associate to a program a machine-checkable proof of its safety. In the original approach to PCC, the safety policy inc...
Wireless Sensor Actuator Networks (WSANs) extend wireless sensor networks through actuation capability. Designing robust logic for WSANs however is challenging since nodes can a...
Rely-guarantee (RG) reasoning is useful for modular Hoare-style proofs of concurrent programs. However, RG requires that assertions be proved stable under the actions of the enviro...
The generation of efficient code for Prolog programs requires sophisticated code transformation and optimization systems. Much of the recent work in this area has focussed on hig...
