We show examples of such applications in the domain of electrical engineering, which are eeectively used by student...

The Sage Project: Software Engineering for Distributed Applications

This paper describes Sage, a research project in software engineering for (fault-tolerant) distributed applications that assists programmers write correct, eecient code. Speciically, Sage uses the modal logic of knowledge and applies theoretical results detailing how processes learn facts about each other's state to derive the minimal communication graph for a given distributed coordination pro...
