A Declarative Framework for Security: Secure Concurrent Constraint Programming
International audienceDue to technological advances such as the Internet and mobile computing, Security has become a serious challenge involving several disciplines of Computer Science. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the analysis of security protocols and one promising approach is the development of formalisms that model communicating processes, in particular Process Calculi. The results are so far encouraging although most remains to be done. In this paper we report our observations and preliminary work on CCP as a framework for security protocols
Quantitative Behavioural Reasoning for Higher-order Effectful Programs: Applicative Distances (Extended Version)
This paper studies the quantitative refinements of Abramsky's applicative
similarity and bisimilarity in the context of a generalisation of Fuzz, a
call-by-value -calculus with a linear type system that can express
programs sensitivity, enriched with algebraic operations \emph{\`a la} Plotkin
and Power. To do so a general, abstract framework for studying behavioural
relations taking values over quantales is defined according to Lawvere's
analysis of generalised metric spaces. Barr's notion of relator (or lax
extension) is then extended to quantale-valued relations adapting and extending
results from the field of monoidal topology. Abstract notions of
quantale-valued effectful applicative similarity and bisimilarity are then
defined and proved to be a compatible generalised metric (in the sense of
Lawvere) and pseudometric, respectively, under mild conditions
La relación personal en el tratamiento de la diversidad
El autor centra su aportación en diferentes características de los organismos vivos, para incorporarlas a las perspectivas interpretativas y operativas, y de los métodos actuales de intervención educativa. En el texto también se trata el enfoque positivo desde la dimensión técnica y no «voluntarista», teniendo en cuenta que los especialistas que adoptan la perspectiva del enfoque positivo dan mucha importancia al tema de la calidad de vida.L'autor centra la seva aportació en diferents característiques dels organismes vius, per incorporar- les a les perspectives interpretatives i operatives, i dels mètodes actuals d'intervenció educativa.

He also deals with the positive focus, from the technical and «no voluntary» dimension, taking into account that those specialists having this kind of view do emphasize a lot on the quality of life issue
