This paper describes a type system that is capable of expressing and enforcing immutability constraints. The speonstraint expressed is that the abstract state of the object to whi...
We show how to use an interactive theorem prover, HOL, together with a model checker, SPIN, to prove key properties of distance vector routing protocols. We do three case studies: ...

The utility problem occurs when the cost of the acquired knowledge outweighs its bene ts. When the learner acquires control knowledge for speeding up a problem solver, the bene t ...
Homeomorphic Embedding (HEm) has proven to be very powerful for supervising termination of computations, provided that such computations are performed over a finite signature, i.e...
It is widely recognized that real-time,fault-tolerant and distributed computing technologies play a key role in the deployment of many current andfuture (civilian or Defense) crit...
