Relational program derivation has gathered momentum over the last decade with the development of many specification logics. However, before such relational specifications can be executed in existing programming languages, they must be carefully phrased to respect the evaluation order of the language. In turn, this requirement inhibits the rapid prototyping of specifications in a relational nota...

Cyber attacks (CAs) have generally been one-dimensional, involving denial of service (DoS), computer viruses or worms, and unauthorized intrusion (hacking). Websites, mail servers, and client machines are the major targets. However, recent CAs have diversified to include multi-stage and multi-dimensional attacks with a variety of tools and technologies.

The practice of physics cannot get off the ground without essential agreement among the practitioners as to what they are about, how to go about it, and what constitutes progrees in their common effort. We adopt David McGoveran’s modeling methodology 11). Thii has three critical elements: (1) an ep%stemologkal framework (‘E-frame”), which is a set of loosely defined agreements made explicit by ...

The aim of this paper is to investigate group gradings of matrix algebras. Let k be a field and G be a group. A k-algebra A is called G-graded if A = ⊕g∈GAg, a direct sum of k-subspaces, such that AgAh ⊆ Agh for any g,h ∈ G. Several papers have been devoted to constructing and classifying group gradings on the matrix algebra Mm(k). One can view the algebra Mm(k) as a quotient of the path algebr...
