Countermeasuring MITM Attacks in Solar-Powered PON-Based FiWi Access Networks by Polyxeni Tsompanoglou, Antonios Iliadis, Konstantinos Kantelis, Sophia Petridou, Petros Nicopolitidis

“…Consequently, this paper introduces two novel mechanisms for reducing ONU energy consumption, namely the <i>wake-up</i> and <i>time-out</i> mechanisms, which can be used to mitigate the effectiveness of MITM attacks that may seek to affect the unit’s operation due to battery drain. The formal verification results show that these goals were effectively achieved.…”

Mapping Applications Intents to Programmable NDN Data-Planes via Event-B Machines by Ouassim Karrakchou, Nancy Samaan, Ahmed Karmouch

“…Second, EBM&#x2019;s formal verification property, referred to as its proof obligation, ensures that the desired properties of the network or its services, as defined by the intent, remain satisfied by the refined EBM representing the final data-plane configurations. …”

Exact and Approximate Determinization of Discounted-Sum Automata by Udi Boker, Thomas A. Henzinger

“…Unfortunately, determinization of NDAs, which is often essential in formal verification, is, in general, not possible. We provide positive news, showing that every NDA with an integral discount factor is determinizable. …”

An IOHMM-Based Framework to Investigate Drift in Effectiveness of IoT-Based Systems by Gérald Rocher, Stéphane Lavirotte, Jean-Yves Tigli, Guillaume Cotte, Franck Dechavanne

“…IoT-based systems, when interacting with the physical environment through actuators, are complex systems difficult to model. Formal verification techniques carried out at design-time being often ineffective in this context, these systems have to be quantitatively evaluated for effectiveness at run-time, i.e., for the extent to which they behave as expected. …”

Specification and verification of sequential machines in rule-based hardware languages by Bourgeat, Thomas

“…The other technique is to use hardware formal verification, which phrases correctness as custom temporal-logic formulae and checks that a concrete design verifies those properties by solving a large set of corresponding Boolean equations. …”

Towards robust neural networks: evaluation and construction by Lu, J

“…A common approach for assessing the robustness of a neural network is through formal verification, which is often computationally expensive. …”

Semantic refactorings by Kesseli, P

“…Our semantics-driven refactorings rely on formal verification algorithms to reason over a program’s behaviour, and we conjecture they are more precise and can handle more complex code scenarios than syntax-driven ones.…”

Branch and bound for piecewise linear neural network verification by Bunel, R, Mudigonda, P, Turkaslan, I, Torr, P, Lu, J, Kohli, P

“…The success of Deep Learning and its potential use in many safety-critical applications has motivated research on formal verification of Neural Network (NN) models. In this context, verification involves proving or disproving that an NN model satisfies certain input-output properties. …”

Modelling osteomyelitis by Liò, P, Paoletti, N, Moni, M, Atwell, K, Merelli, E, Viceconti, M
