This book presents the fundamentals of concurrency theory with clarity and rigor. The authors start with the semantic structure, namely labelled transition systems, which provides us with the means and the tools to express processes, to compose them, and to prove properties they enjoy. The rest of the book relies on Milner's Calculus of Communicating Systems, tailored versions of which are used to study various notions of equality between systems, and to investigate in detail the expressive power of the models considered. The authors proceed from very basic results to increasingly complex issues, with many examples and exercises that help to reveal the many subtleties of the topic. The book is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in computer science and engineering, and scientists engaged with theories of concurrency.
Security is a rapidly growing area of computer science, with direct and increasing relevance to real-life applications, such as Internet transactions, e-commerce, information protection, network and systems security, etc. Foundations for the analysis and design of security features of such applications are badly needed in order to validate and prove their correctness. This book presents thoroughly revised versions of six tutorial lectures given by leading researchers during two International Schools on Foundations of Security Analysis and Design, FOSAD 2001/2002, held in Bertinoro, Italy, in September 2001 and September 2002. The lectures are devoted to: - Formal Approaches to Approximating Noninterference Properties - The Key Establishment Problem - Name-Passing Calculi and Cryptoprimitives - Classification of Security Properties; Network Security - Cryptographic Algorithms for Multimedia Traffic - Security for Mobility
Annotation This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 32nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming, ICALP 2005, held in Lisbon, Portugal in July 2005. The 113 revised full papers presented together with abstracts of 5 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 407 submissions. The papers address all current issues in theoretical computer science and are organized in topical sections on data structures, cryptography and complexity, cryptography and distributed systems, graph algorithms, security mechanisms, automata and formal languages, signature and message authentication, algorithmic game theory, automata and logic, computational algebra, cache-oblivious algorithms and algorithmic engineering, on-line algorithms, security protocols logic, random graphs, concurrency, encryption and related primitives, approximation algorithms, games, lower bounds, probability, algebraic computation and communication complexity, string matching and computational biology, quantum complexity, analysis and verification, geometry and load balancing, concrete complexity and codes, and model theory and model checking.
This volume contains the proceedings of the second joint PAPM-PROBMIV Workshop, held at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, July 25–26, 2002 as part of the Federated Logic Conference (FLoC 2002). The PAPM-PROBMIV workshop results from the combination of two wo- shops: PAPM (Process Algebras and Performance Modeling) and PROBMIV (Probabilistic Methods in Veri?cation). The aim of the joint workshop is to bring together the researchers working across the whole spectrum of techniques for the modeling, speci?cation, analysis, and veri?cation of probabilistic systems. Probability is widely used in the design and analysis of software and hardware systems, as a means to derive e?cient algorithm...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th IFIP WG 11.11 International Conference on Trust Management, IFIPTM 2014, held in Singapore, in July 2014. The 12 revised full papers and 5 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 36 submissions. In addition, the book contains one invited paper. The papers cover a wide range of topics focusing on the following main areas: trust and reputation models; privacy issues and social and behavioral models of trust; the relationship between trust and security; trust under attacks and trust in the cloud environment.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the First International Symposium on Architecting Critical Systems, ISARCS 2010, held in Prague, Czech Republic, in June 2010.
The volume LNCS 12226 constitutes the revised selected papers from the four workshops collocated with the 17th International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods, SEFM 2019. The 13 full papers presented together with 7 short papers in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 45 submissions. They stem from the following workshops: CoSim-CPS 2019 – 3rd International Workshop on Formal Co-Simulation of Cyber-Physical Systems; ASYDE 2019 -- 1st International Workshop on Cognition: Interdisciplinary Foundations, Models and Applications; and FOCLASA 2019 -- 17th International Workshop on Foundations of Coordination Languages and Self-Adaptive Systems.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Emerging Technologies for Authorization and Authentication, ETAA 2019, held in Luxembourg, in September 2019. The 10 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. They focus on new techniques for biometric and behavioral based authentication, authentication and authorization in the IoT and in distributed systems in general, techniques for strengthen password based authentication and for dissuading malicious users from stolen password reuse, an approach for discovering authentication vulnerabilities in interconnected accounts, and strategies to optimize the access control decision process in the Big Data scenario.
This volume contains papers based on contributions to two workshops: the Workshop on Architecting Dependable Systems (WADS 2008)and the Third International Workshop on Views On Designing Complex Architectures (VODCA 2008).
