A Reduced Semantics for Deciding Trace Equivalence
Many privacy-type properties of security protocols can be modelled using
trace equivalence properties in suitable process algebras. It has been shown
that such properties can be decided for interesting classes of finite processes
(i.e., without replication) by means of symbolic execution and constraint
solving. However, this does not suffice to obtain practical tools. Current
prototypes suffer from a classical combinatorial explosion problem caused by
the exploration of many interleavings in the behaviour of processes.
M\"odersheim et al. have tackled this problem for reachability properties using
partial order reduction techniques. We revisit their work, generalize it and
adapt it for equivalence checking. We obtain an optimisation in the form of a
reduced symbolic semantics that eliminates redundant interleavings on the fly.
The obtained partial order reduction technique has been integrated in a tool
called APTE. We conducted complete benchmarks showing dramatic improvements.Comment: Accepted for publication in LMC
Nonperturbative and spin effects in the central exclusive production of tensor meson
We discuss central exclusive production (CEP) of the tensor
meson in proton-(anti)proton collisions at Tevatron, RHIC and LHC energies. The
amplitude for the process is derived within the -factorisation approach.
Differential and total cross sections are calculated for several unintegrated
gluon distributions (UGDFs). We compare exclusive production of all charmonium
states and . Equally good description
of the recent Tevatron data is achieved both with Martin-Ryskin
phenomenological UGDF and UGDF based on unified BFKL-DGLAP approach. Unlike for
Higgs production, the main contribution to the diffractive amplitude of heavy
quarkonia comes from nonperturbative region of gluon transverse momenta
Q_{\perp}<1\,\GeV. At 0, depending on UGDF we predict the
contribution of to the channel to be
comparable or larger than that of the one. This is partially due
to a significant contribution from lower polarization states for
and for meson. Corresponding
theoretical uncertainties are discussed.Comment: 18 pages, 12 figures, discrepancies with Durham group results

Beam element verification for 3D elastic steel frame analysis
The paper describes the attributes that should be possessed by a benchmark example for verifying the beam elements used to carry out 3D linear buckling analysis and 3D second-order elastic analysis of steel frames. Based on the attributes described, the paper proposes a suite of benchmark examples selected from the literature. The necessary features of a beam element required to pass the proposed benchmark problems are given, and beam elements that possess these features are cited. The paper also explains the merits of linear buckling analysis examples, and provides a commentary on two well-known examples
Runtime Verification Of SQL Correctness Properties with YR-DB-RUNTIME-VERIF
Software correctness properties are essential to maintain quality by continuous and regressive inte-
gration testing, as well as runtime monitoring the program after customer deployment. This paper
presents an effective and lightweight C ++ program verification framework: YR_DB_RUNTIME_VERIF,
to check SQL (Structure Query Language) [1] software correctness properties specified as temporal
safety properties [2]. A temporal safety property specifies what behavior shall not occur, in a software,
as sequence of program events. YR_DB_RUNTIME_VERIF allows specification of a SQL temporal safety
property by means of a very small state diagram mealy machine [3]. In YR_DB_RUNTIME_VERIF, a spec-
ification characterizes effects of program events (via SQL statements) on database table columns by
means of set interface operations (∈, ∈), and, enable to check these characteristics hold or not at
runtime. Integration testing is achieved for instance by expressing a state diagram that encompasses
both Graphical User Interface (GUI) states and MySQL [4] databases queries that glue them. For
example, a simple specification would encompass states between ’Department administration’ and
’Stock listing’ GUI interfaces, and transitions between them by means of MySQL databases oper-
ations. YR_DB_RUNTIME_VERIF doesn’t generate false warnings; YR_DB_RUNTIME_VERIF specifications
are not desirable (forbidden) specifications (fail traces). This paper focuses its examples on MySQL
database specifications, labeled as states diagrams events, for the newly developed and FOSS (Free
and Open Source Software) Enterprise Resource Planing Software YEROTH–ERP–3.0 [5].PROF. DR.-ING. DIPL.-INF. xavier noumbissi noundo
Global surpluses of spin-base invariant fermions
The spin-base invariant formalism of Dirac fermions in curved space maintains
the essential symmetries of general covariance as well as similarity
transformations of the Clifford algebra. We emphasize the advantages of the
spin-base invariant formalism both from a conceptual as well as from a
practical viewpoint. This suggests that local spin-base invariance should be
added to the list of (effective) properties of (quantum) gravity theories. We
find support for this viewpoint by the explicit construction of a global
realization of the Clifford algebra on a 2-sphere which is impossible in the
spin-base non-invariant vielbein formalism.Comment: 6 page
