During the past three years we have been integrating mechanized theorem proving into a traditional introductory course on formal methods. We explain our goals for adding mechanized provers to the course, and illustrate how we have integrated the provers into our syllabus to meet those goals. We also document some of the teaching materials we have developed for the course to date, and what our e...

Most formal techniques of automated reasoning are either rooted in logic or in probability theory. These areas have a long tradition in science, particularly among philosophers and mathematicians. More recently, computer scientists have discovered logic and probability theory to be the two key techniques for building intelligent systems which rely on reasoning as a central component. Despite nu...

Lightweight formal methods, of which Alloy is a prime example, combine the rigour of mathematics without compromising simplicity of use and suitable tool support. In some cases, however, the verification of safety or mission critical software entails the need for more sophisticated technologies, typically based on theorem provers. This explains a number of attempts to connect Alloy to specific ...

Emerging digital, automated and connected systems, devices, data, algorithms are increasingly part of our lives. They participate in the everyday realities participants qualitative research they embedded infrastructures through which we share scholarship, research, practice. This article introduces this new landscape its implications for research. I argue that need to engage not only with quest...

The face Detection methodsis used in order to provide security. The mentioned methods problems are that it cannot be categorized because of the great differences and varieties in the face of individuals. In this paper, face Detection methods has been presented for overcoming upon these problems based on skin color datum. The researcher gathered a face database of 30 individuals consisting of ov...
