Secure Contexts for Confidential Data

Information flow security in a mutlilevel system aims at guaranteeing that no high level information is revealed to low level users, even in the presence of any possible malicious process. This requirement could be too demanding when some knowledge …

Ambient Calculus and its Logic in the Calculus of Inductive Constructions

The Ambient Calculus has been recently proposed as a model of mobility of agents in a dynamically changing hierarchy of domains. In this paper, we describe the implementation of the theory and metatheory of Ambient Calculus and its modal logic in the …

Decidability of interval temporal logics over split-frames via granularity

Logics for time intervals provide a natural framework for representing and reasoning about timing properties in various areas of artificial intelligence and computer science. Unfortunately, most interval temporal logics proposed in the literature …

Proofs Methods for Bisimulation Based Information Flow Security

Persistent_BNDC (P_BNDC, for short) is a security property for processes in dynamic contexts, i.e., contexts that can be reconfigured at runtime.We study how to efficiently decide if a process is P_BNDC.We exploit a characterization of P_BNDC through …

Simulation as Coarsest Partition Problem

The problem of determining the coarsest partition stable with respect to a given binary relation, is known to be equivalent to the problem of finding the maximal bisimulation on a given structure. Such an equivalence has suggested efficient …

Transforming Processes to Check and Ensure Information Flow Security

Persistent BNDC (P BNDC for short) is an information- flow securitypro perty for processes in dynamic contexts, i.e., contexts that can be reconfigured at runtime. We propose a method for transforming an arbitrary process into a process satisfying …

Using Secondary Structure Information for Protein Folding in CLP(FD)

The protein folding problem is the problem of predicting the 3D structure of a protein when the linear sequence of aminoacids identifying it is known. In this paper we present a declarative implementation in Constrain & Generate style in CLP(ℱFD) of …
