There is a growing need for computational tools to automatically design and verify autonomous systems, especially complex robotic systems involving perception, planning, control, and hardware in the autonomy stack. Differentiable…

To solve hard problems, AI relies on a variety of disciplines such as logic, probabilistic reasoning, machine learning and mathematical programming. Although it is widely accepted that solving real-world problems requires an integration…

Our study demonstrates the effective use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for automating the classification of complex datasets. We specifically target proposals of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), as the clas-sification of…

We develop formal foundations for notions and mechanisms needed to support service-oriented computing. Our work builds on recent theoretical advancements in the algebraic structures that capture the way services are orchestrated and in the…

We illustrate how purpose-specific, graphical modeling enables application experts with different levels of expertise to collaboratively design and then produce complex applications using their individual, purpose-specific modeling…

Production distributed systems are challenging to formally verify, in particular when they are based on distributed protocols that are not rigorously described or fully understood. In this paper, we derive models and properties for two core…

The book is devoted to two research areas: (1) Designing programming languages along with their denotational models. A denotational model of a language consists of two many-sorted algebras - an algebra of syntax and an algebra of…

Formal, Distributional, and Grounded theories of computational semantics each have their uses and their drawbacks. There has been a shift to ground models of language by adding visual knowledge, and there has been a call to enrich models of…

Scheduling languages express to a compiler a sequence of optimizations to apply. Compilers that support a scheduling language interface allow exploration of compiler optimizations, i.e., exploratory compilers. While scheduling languages…

Composition is an important feature of a specification language, as it enables the design of a complex system in terms of a product of its parts. Decomposition is equally important in order to reason about structural properties of a system.…

Quantum computing (QC) represents the future of computing systems, but the tools for reasoning about the quantum model of computation, in which the laws obeyed are those on the quantum mechanical scale, are still a mix of linear algebra and…

Recently, a distributed middleware application called contract automata runtime environment (CARE) has been introduced to realise service applications specified using a dialect of finite-state automata. In this paper, we detail the formal…

We address the design of distributed systems with synchronous dataflow programming languages. As modular design entails handling both architectural and functional modularity, our first contribution is to extend an existing synchronous…

Multilingual programs, whose implementations are made of different languages, are gaining traction especially in domains, such as web programming, that particularly benefit from the additional flexibility brought by using multiple…

We formally specified a program logic for higher-order procedural variables and non-local jumps with Ott and Twelf. Moreover, the dependent type systems and the translation are both executable specifications thanks to Twelf's logic…

This work discusses the benefits of having multiple simulated environments with different degrees of realism for the development of algorithms in scenarios populated by autonomous nodes capable of communication and mobility. This approach…

This work studies the intersection of continual and federated learning, in which independent agents face unique tasks in their environments and incrementally develop and share knowledge. We introduce a mathematical framework capturing the…

Most classical results in circuit complexity theory concern circuits over the Boolean domain. Besides their simplicity and the ease of comparing different languages, the actual architecture of computers is also an important motivating…

We present a taxonomy of the variability mechanisms offered by modeling languages. The definition of a formal language encompasses a syntax and a semantic domain as well as the mapping that relates them, thus language variabilities are…

Declarative Distributed Systems (DDSs) are distributed systems grounded in logic programming. Although DDS model-checking is undecidable in general, we detect decidable cases by tweaking the data-source bounds, the message expressiveness,…
