Safety is a syntactic condition of higher-order grammars that constrains occurrences of variables in the production rules according to their type-theoretic order. In this paper, we introduce the safe lambda calculus, which is obtained by transposing (and generalizing) the safety condition to the setting of the simply-typed lambda calculus. In contrast to the original definition of safety, our c...

Safety applications are the highest priority services in the Vehicular Ad Hoc NETworks (VANETs). To support the highest priority service, the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is designed to provide efficient broadcast. Compared to IEEE 1609.4, a new multi-channel MAC for VANET (HER-MAC) is proposed which is more reliable in safety applications. In this paper, we propose an analytical model ...
