Modal Logic - a Tool for Design Process Formalisation

MLAT: Modal Logic Abstraction Tool

An Industrial Application of Modal Process Logic

Modal process logic is an extension of CCS that allows for more expressive specifications. We show how modal process logic was successfully applied in the development of a failure recovery protocol for an air-traffic information system now in service at Heathrow airport. Two example systems are used to show that CCS itself was not suitable for this application.

A Design Methodology for Reliable MRF-Based Logic Gates

Probabilistic-based methods have been used for designing noise tolerant circuits recently. In these methods, however, there is not any reliability mechanism that is essential for nanometer digital VLSI circuits. In this paper, we propose a novel method for designing reliable probabilistic-based logic gates. The advantage of the proposed method in comparison with previous probabilistic-based met...

Modal Location-Resource-Process Logic for Access Control

The logic MBI is a substructural modal logic of locations, resources, and processes that is closely related to both the bunched logic BI and Hennessy-Milner logic. MBI stands in a (slightly weak) Hennessy-Milner correspondence with the synchronous process calculus of located resources, LSCRP. Starting from motivations in large-scale systems modelling, I will introduce MBI and LSCRP, and explain...
