Remote attestation of system integrity is an essential part of trusted computing. However,
current remote attestation techniques only provide integrity proofs of static properties of the …

The last decade has seen a dramatic growth in the use of constraint solvers as a
computational mechanism, not only for analysis of software, but also at runtime. Solvers are …

Constraint satisfaction and data validation problems can be expressed very elegantly in
state-based formal methods such as B. However, is B suited for developing larger …

The premise of this paper asserts that the source code of software programs must preserve
the underlying domain knowledge in the form of declarative domain models and fully exploit …

We present a new SAT backend for the B-Method to enable new applications of formal
methods. The new backend interleaves low-level SAT solving with high-level constraint …

We present Deuterium---a framework for implementing Java methods as executable
contracts. Deuterium introduces a novel, type-safe way to write method contracts entirely in …

Security attacks often exploit flaws that are not anticipated in an abstract design, but are
introduced inadvertently when high-level interactions in the design are mapped to low-level …

Considering programs as data enables powerful meta-programming. One example is Lisp's
macro system, which gives rise to powerful transformations of programs and allows easy …

Used to predict the effects of hurricane storm surge, ocean circulation models are essential
tools for evacuation planning, vulnerability assessment, and infrastructure design …

Object-constraint programming systems integrate declarative constraint solving with
imperative, object-oriented languages, seamlessly providing the power of both paradigms …
