Intensional Cyberforensics
This work focuses on the application of intensional logic to cyberforensic
analysis and its benefits and difficulties are compared with the
finite-state-automata approach. This work extends the use of the intensional
programming paradigm to the modeling and implementation of a cyberforensics
investigation process with backtracing of event reconstruction, in which
evidence is modeled by multidimensional hierarchical contexts, and proofs or
disproofs of claims are undertaken in an eductive manner of evaluation. This
approach is a practical, context-aware improvement over the finite state
automata (FSA) approach we have seen in previous work. As a base implementation
language model, we use in this approach a new dialect of the Lucid programming
language, called Forensic Lucid, and we focus on defining hierarchical contexts
based on intensional logic for the distributed evaluation of cyberforensic
expressions. We also augment the work with credibility factors surrounding
digital evidence and witness accounts, which have not been previously modeled.
The Forensic Lucid programming language, used for this intensional
cyberforensic analysis, formally presented through its syntax and operational
semantics. In large part, the language is based on its predecessor and
codecessor Lucid dialects, such as GIPL, Indexical Lucid, Lucx, Objective
Lucid, and JOOIP bound by the underlying intensional programming paradigm.Comment: 412 pages, 94 figures, 18 tables, 19 algorithms and listings; PhD

Proceedings of the 22nd Conference on Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design – FMCAD 2022
The Conference on Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design (FMCAD) is an annual conference on the theory and applications of formal methods in hardware and system verification. FMCAD provides a leading forum to researchers in academia and industry for presenting and discussing groundbreaking methods, technologies, theoretical results, and tools for reasoning formally about computing systems. FMCAD covers formal aspects of computer-aided system design including verification, specification, synthesis, and testing

Adaptation-Aware Architecture Modeling and Analysis of Energy Efficiency for Software Systems
This work presents an approach for the architecture analysis of energy efficiency for static and self-adaptive software systems. It introduces a modeling language that captures consumption characteristics on an architectural level. The outlined analysis predicts the energy efficiency of systems described with this language. Lastly, this work introduces an approach for considering transient effects in design time architecture analyses
