Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) combines sensing and communication within a shared system framework by using the same transmitted signal for both objectives. ISAC can improve the efficiency of spectrum and hardware use but also…
This paper presents the mechanization of a process algebra for Mobile Ad hoc Networks and Wireless Mesh Networks, and the development of a compositional framework for proving invariant properties. Mechanizing the core process algebra in…
Recently, the description logic LE-ALC was introduced for reasoning in the semantic environment of the enriched formal contexts, and a tableaux algorithm was developed for checking the consistency of ABoxes in this logic. In this paper, we…
We present a formal proof of a time-triggered hardware interface. The design implements the bit-clock synchronization mechanism specified by the FlexRay standard for automotive embedded systems. The design is described at the gate-level. It…
High assurance of information-flow security (IFS) for concurrent systems is challenging. A promising way for formal verification of concurrent systems is the rely-guarantee method. However, existing compositional reasoning approaches for…
Quantum communication and cryptographic protocols are well on the way to becoming an important practical technology. Although a large amount of successful research has been done on proving their correctness, most of this work does not make…
Fully leveraging the capabilities of AI agents in software development requires a rethinking of the software ecosystem itself. To this end, this paper outlines the creation of an Agentic Infused Software Ecosystem (AISE), that rests on…
In this work, we attempt to explain the prediction of any black-box classifier from an information-theoretic perspective. For each input feature, we compare the classifier outputs with and without that feature using two…
Consider impersonation attack by an active malicious nano node (Eve) on a diffusion based molecular communication (DbMC) system---Eve transmits during the idle slots to deceive the nano receiver (Bob) that she is indeed the legitimate nano…
We present a novel mathematical framework for the specification and analysis of fault-resilient distributed protocols and their implementations, with the following components: 1. Transition systems that allow the specification and analysis…
This work presents ATLAS, an LLM-driven framework that bridges standardized threat modeling and property-based formal verification for System-on-Chip (SoC) security. Starting from vulnerability knowledge bases such as Common Weakness…
The Isabelle Archive of Formal Proofs has grown to a significant size in the past years. It makes up for an impressive body of research, which enables a number of statistical approaches to various aspects in theorem proving, and has not yet…
Automatic verification deals with the validation by means of computers of correctness certificates. The related tools, usually called proof assistants or interactive provers, provide an interactive environment for the creation of formal…
Current large language models reason in isolation. Although it is common to sample multiple reasoning paths in parallel, these trajectories do not interact, and often fail in the same redundant ways. We introduce LACE, a framework that…
OpenACC is a high-level directive-based parallel programming model that can manage the sophistication of heterogeneity in architectures and abstract it from the users. The portability of the model across CPUs and accelerators has gained the…
Language models (LMs) can perform complex reasoning either end-to-end, with hidden latent state, or compositionally, with transparent intermediate state. Composition offers benefits for interpretability and safety, but may need workflow…
When large AI models are deployed as cloud-based services, clients have no guarantee that responses are correct or were produced by the intended model. Rerunning inference locally is infeasible for large models, and existing cryptographic…
Large language models can consult information that fixed static analyzers cannot, such as documentation, current security advisories, version-specific metadata, and informal API contracts. This makes LLMs a compelling option for program…
The Inner Tracking System (ITS) of the ALICE experiment will be upgraded during the second long LHC shutdown in $\mathrm{2019}-\mathrm{2020}$. The main goal of the ALICE ITS Upgrade is to enable high precision measurements of low - momentum…
We present the first verified implementation of a decision procedure for the quantifier-free theory of partial and linear orders. We formalise the procedure in Isabelle/HOL and provide a specification that is made executable using…
