Group communication systems are powerful building blocks that facilitate the development of fault-tolerant distributed applications. Such systems generally run in an asynchronous ...
This paper presents a simple and efficient conversion from a semantically secure public-key encryption scheme against passive adversaries to a non-malleable (or semantically secure...
Verification Condition Generator (VCG) tools have been effective in simplifying the task of proving programs correct. However, in the past these VCG tools have in general not thems...
The chapter describes visual classification by a hierarchy of semantic fragments. In fragment-based classification, objects within a class are represented by common sub-structures ...
SystemC is widely used for modeling and simulation in hardware/software co-design. Due to the lack of a complete formal semantics, it is not possible to verify SystemC designs. In...
