We describe an approach to automatically verify goals stated in substructural logics. In particular we are interested in proving the functional correctness of pointer programs that involve iteration and recursion. Building upon separation logic, our approach has been implemented as a tightly integrated tool chain – where a novel combination of proof planning and invariant generation lies at its...

Within-die variations in path delays are increasing with scaling. Although higher levels of within-die delay variations are undesirable from a design perspective, they represent a rich source of entropy for applications that make use of ‘secrets’, such as authentication, hardware metering and encryption. Physical unclonable functions or PUFs are a class of circuit primitives that leverage withi...

In this paper we present the design and implementation, as well as a use case, of a tool for workflow analysis. The tool provides an assistant for the specification of properties of a workflow model. The specification language for property description is Fluent Linear Time Temporal Logic. Fluents provide an adequate flexibility for capturing properties of workflows. Both the model and the prope...

With the growing imbalance between processor and memory performance it becomes more and more important to optimize the memory controller features to obtain the maximum possible performance out of the memory subsystem. As system bandwidths continue to increase, memory technologies have been optimized for higher speeds and performance. Improvements in memory latency and bandwidth have not kept pa...

BACKGROUND Neonatal hypoglycemia is the most common carbohydrate metabolic disturbance seen in case of neonates and especially in preterm neonates. Accurate and rapid determination of hypoglycemia and its prompt treatment is of utmost importance to decrease morbidity and mortality of neonates. AIMS To estimate blood glucose in neonates and test the efficacy of HemoCue Glucose 201+ analyser an...

This paper investigates the possibilities that cross-linguistic similarities and dissimilarities between related languages offer in terms of bootstrapping a morphological analyser. In this case an existing Zulu morphological analyser prototype (ZulMorph) serves as basis for a Xhosa analyser. The investigation is structured around the morphotactics and the morphophonological alternations of the ...
