The Discriminating Mind: Define It, Prove It

It’s Not Magic: I Can Prove It

Our work presents a new approach to developing, analyzing, and proving correctness of programs intended for execution on a quantum computer. We provide tools to write quantum as well as classical specifications, develop quantum and classical solutions for them, and analyses various properties of quantum specifications and quantum programs, such as implementability, time and space complexity, an...

It's Doomed; We Can Prove It

Programming errors found early are the cheapest. Tools applying to the early stage of code development exist but either they suffer from false positives (“noise”) or they require strong user interaction. We propose to avoid this deficiency by defining a new class of errors. A program fragment is doomed if its execution will inevitably fail, in whatever state it is started. We use a formal verif...

Your System is Secure? Prove it!

Computer security is an old problem which has lost none of its relevance — as is evidenced by the annual Security issue of ;login:. The systems research community has increased its attention to security issues in recent years, as can be seen by an increasing number of security-related papers published in the mainstream systems conferences SOSP, OSDI, and USENIX. However, the focus is primarily ...

Lessons from the PROVE-IT trial. Higher dose of potent statin better for high-risk patients.

The Pravastatin or Atorvastatin Evaluation and Infection Therapy trial (PROVE-IT/TIMI-22) showed that in patients with acute coronary syndromes, aggressive lipid-lowering using atorvastatin 80 mg/day provided greater protection against death or major cardiovascular events than did moderate lipid-lowering using pravastatin 40 mg/day. Lowering the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level to appr...
