1
Maude A Wide-Spectrum Formal Language for Secure
Active Networks
Impact

• New methodology for the design, formal analysis
  and prototyping of security and communication
  protocols, greatly shortening the design time.
• Dramatically reducing the gap between
  specifications and actual code for ANs and other
  communication software.
• New models for security in open distributed
  systems.

Schedule
Ideas

• Formal executable specification and analysis of
  ANs in a reflective O-O formalism.
• Formal transformation of executable
  specifications into mobile code.
• Formal models of AN security based on rewriting
  logic.
