Rewriting logic is a versatile and expressive framework that unifies the specification of concurrent systems with formal reasoning about their behaviour. It allows researchers and practitioners to ...

When learning ladder logic, I was told that some new PLC systems were moving to scripted programming languages. My instructor assured us that we would not need to know anything other than ladder logic ...

My general research interests are in the logic, semantics, and implementation of programming languages. In particular, I am interested in using logic to help design and verify that software systems ...
