	Title	Automated analysis of timed security: a case study on web privacy			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2004	Publication	International Journal of Information Security	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	2	Issue	3-4	Pages	168-186
	Keywords
	Abstract	This paper presents a case study on an automated analysis of real-time security models. The case study on a web system (originally proposed by Felten and Schneider) is presented that shows a timing attack on the privacy of browser users. Three different approaches are followed: LH-Timed Automata (analyzed using the model checker HyTech), finite-state automata (analyzed using the model checker NuSMV), and process algebras (analyzed using the model checker CWB-NC). A comparative analysis of these three approaches is given.

	Title	Some Computational Properties of Intersection Types (Extended Abstract)			Type	Journal Article
	Year	1999	Publication		Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	109-118
	Keywords	lambda calculusCurry types, intersection types, lambda-definability, lambda-terms, strong normalization
	Abstract	This paper presents a new method for comparing computation-properties of λ-terms typeable with intersection types with respect to terms typeable with Curry types. In particular, strong normalization and λ-definability are investigated. A translation is introduced from intersection typing derivations to Curry typeable terms; the main feature of the proposed technique is that the translation is preserved by β-reduction. This allows to simulate a computation starting from a term typeable in the intersection discipline by means of a computation starting from a simply typeable term. Our approach naturally leads to prove strong normalization in the intersection system by means of purely syntactical techniques. In addition, the presented method enables us to give a proof of a conjecture proposed by Leivant in 1990, namely that all functions uniformly definable using intersection types are already definable using Curry types.

	Title	Intersection types and λ-definability			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2003	Publication	Mathematical Structures in Computer Science	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	13	Issue	1	Pages	15-53
	Keywords
	Abstract	This paper presents a novel method for comparing computational properties of λ-terms that are typeable with intersection types, with respect to terms that are typeable with Curry types. We introduce a translation from intersection typing derivations to Curry typeable terms that is preserved by β-reduction: this allows the simulation of a computation starting from a term typeable in the intersection discipline by means of a computation starting from a simply typeable term. Our approach proves strong normalisation for the intersection system naturally by means of purely syntactical techniques. The paper extends the results presented in Bucciarelli et al. (1999) to the whole intersection type system of Barendregt, Coppo and Dezani, thus providing a complete proof of the conjecture, proposed in Leivant (1990), that all functions uniformly definable using intersection types are already definable using Curry types.

	Title	On Checking Equivalence of Simulation Scripts			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2021	Publication	Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in Programming	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	100640
	Keywords	Formal verification, Simulation based formal verification, Formal Verification of cyber-physical systems, System-level formal verification
	Abstract	To support Model Based Design of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) many simulation based approaches to System Level Formal Verification (SLFV) have been devised. Basically, these are Bounded Model Checking approaches (since simulation horizon is of course bounded) relying on simulators to compute the system dynamics and thereby verify the given system properties. The main obstacle to simulation based SLFV is the large number of simulation scenarios to be considered and thus the huge amount of simulation time needed to complete the verification task. To save on computation time, simulation based SLFV approaches exploit the capability of simulators to save and restore simulation states. Essentially, such a time saving is obtained by optimising the simulation script defining the simulation activity needed to carry out the verification task. Although such approaches aim to (bounded) formal verification, as a matter of fact, the proof of correctness of the methods to optimise simulation scripts basically relies on an intuitive semantics for simulation scripting languages. This hampers the possibility of formally showing that the optimisations introduced to speed up the simulation activity do not actually omit checking of relevant behaviours for the system under verification. The aim of this paper is to fill the above gap by presenting an operational semantics for simulation scripting languages and by proving soundness and completeness properties for it. This, in turn, enables formal proofs of equivalence between unoptimised and optimised simulation scripts.

	Title	Automatic Verification of a Hydroelectric Power Plant			Type	Conference Article
	Year	1996	Publication	Third International Symposium of Formal Methods Europe (FME), Co-Sponsored by IFIP WG 14.3	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	425-444
	Keywords
	Abstract	We analyze the specification of a hydroelectric power plant by ENEL (the Italian Electric Company). Our goal is to show that for the specification of the plant (its control system in particular) some given properties hold. We were provided with an informal specification of the plant. From such informal specification we wrote a formal specification using the CCS/Meije process algebra formalism. We defined properties using μ-calculus. Automatic verification was carried out using model checking. This was done by translating our process algebra definitions (the model) and μ-calculus formulas into BDDs. In this paper we present the informal specification of the plant, its formal specification, some of the properties we verified and experimental results.

	Title	A Type Inference Algorithm for Secure Ambients			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2002	Publication	Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	62	Issue		Pages	83-101
	Keywords
	Abstract	We consider a type discipline for the Ambient Calculus that associates ambients with security levels and constrains them to be traversed by or opened in ambients of higher security clearance only. We present a bottom-up algorithm that, given an untyped process P, computes a minimal set of constraints on security levels such that all actions during runs of P are performed without violating the security level priorities. Such an algorithm appears to be a prerequisite to use type systems to ensure security properties in the web scenario.

	Title	Formally Modeling a Metal Processing Plant and its Closed Loop Specifications			Type	Conference Article
	Year	1999	Publication	4th IEEE International Symposium on High-Assurance Systems Engineering (HASE)	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume		Issue		Pages	151
	Keywords
	Abstract	We present a case study on automatic synthesis of control software from formal specifications for an industrial automation control system. Our aim is to compare the effectiveness (i.e. design effort and controller quality) of automatic controller synthesis from closed loop formal specifications with that of manual controller design followed by automatic verification. The system to be controlled (plant) models a metal processing facility near Karlsruhe. We succeeded in automatically generating C code implementing a (correct by construction) embedded controller for such a plant from closed loop formal specifications. Our experimental results show that for industrial automation control systems automatic synthesis is a viable and profitable (especially as far as design effort is concerned) alternative to manual design followed by automatic verification.
