Abstract The Spec# programming system [4] is a new attempt to increase the quality of
general purpose, industrial software. Using old wisdom, we propose the use of …

Advanced multi-threaded programs apply concurrency concepts in sophisticated ways. For
instance, they use fine-grained locking to increase parallelism and change locking orders …

The combination of message passing and locking to protect shared state is a useful
concurrency pattern. However, programs that employ this pattern are susceptible to …

This paper presents a program logic for reasoning about multithreaded Java-like programs
with dynamic thread creation, thread joining and reentrant object monitors. The logic is …

Concurrent objects are inherently complex to verify. In the late 80s and early 90s, Herlihy
and Wing proposed linearizability as a correctness condition for concurrent objects, which …

This paper presents the design and characteristics of a five-fingered haptic interface robot:
HIRO III. The aim of the paper is to provide a high-precision force representation at the five …

This paper presents a verification technique for a concurrent Java-like language with
reentrant locks. The verification technique is based on permissionaccounting separation …

Modular reasoning about concurrent programs is complicated by the possibility of
interferences happening between any two instructions of a task (pervasive interference), and …

This paper proposes a novel methodology FPGA Trust Zone (FTZ) to incorporate security
into the design cycle to detect and isolate anomalies such as Hardware Trojans in the FPGA …

We adapt a variant of permission-accounting separation logic to a concurrent Java-like
language with fork/join. To support both concurrent reads and information hiding, we …
