Protocol conversion involves the use of a converter to control communication between two or more protocols such that desired system-level specifications can be satisfied. We invest...
This paper presents an effective approach to formally verify SystemC designs. The approach translates SystemC models into a Petri-Net based representation. The Petri-net model is ...
Program specifications are important for many tasks during software design, development, and maintenance. Among these, temporal specifications are particularly useful. They expres...
There is a growing recognition of the need to apply formal mathematical methods in the design of \high con dence" computing systems. Such systems operate in safety critical co...
Access-control policies have grown from simple matrices to non-trivial specifications written in sophisticated languages. The increasing complexity of these policies demands corres...
