Deductive verification is about proving that a piece of code conforms to a given requirement specification. For legacy code, this task is notoriously hard for three reasons: (1) writing specifications posthoc is much more difficult than producing code and its specification simultaneously, (2) verification does not scale as legacy code is often badly modularized, (3) legacy code may be written i...

objective(s): neuroinflammation in parkinson disease (pd) is associated with glial cells activation and production of different inflammatory cytokines. in this study, we investigated the effect of chronic administration of 8-oh-dpat on 6-ohda-induced catalepsy and levels of inflammatory cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid (csf).   materials and methods: catalepsy was induced by unilateral infusion...

Aditi is a deductive database system under development at the Collaborative Information Technology Research Institute by researchers from the University of Melbourne. This document is an introductory guide to the Aditi system.

The paper introduces a robust spelling correction technique to deal with ill-formed input strings, including unknown parts of unknown length. In contrast to previous works, we derive profit from a finer dynamic programming construction, which takes advantage of the underlying grammatical structure, leading to an improved computational behavior and error repair quality. The formal description ap...

We present KeY-C, a tool for deductive verification of C programs. KeY-C allows to prove partial correctness of C programs relative to preand postconditions. It is based on a version of KeY that supports Java Card. In this paper we give a glimpse of syntax, semantics, and calculus of C Dynamic Logic (CDL) that were adapted from their Java Card counterparts, based on an example. Currently, the t...

A system is said to be distributed when it includes several geographically distinct components cooperating in order to achieve a common distributed task. The development of informatic networks and telematic services, as well as the access to public data transmission networks raised the question of building distributed applications. However it should be understood that distributed processing is ...
