We describe an incomplete but sound and efficient livelock freedom test for infinite state asynchronous reactive systems. The method s a system into a set of simple control flow cy...
We specify a hardware architecture that supports tamper-resistant software by identifying an “idealized” hich gives the abstracted actions available to a single user program. ...

The distinction between safety and liveness properties is due to Lamport who gave the following informal characterization. Safety properties assert that nothing bad ever happens w...
