Undecidability Results for Finite Interactive Systems

A new approach to the design of massively parallel and interactive programming languages has been recently proposed using rv-systems (interactive systems with registers and voices) and Agapia programming. In this paper we present a few theoretical results on FISs (finite interactive systems), the underlying mechanism used for specifying control and interaction in these systems. First, we give a proof for the undecidability of the emptiness problem

Undecidability Results for Finite Interactive Systems

This paper is on the foundations of a recent approach to the design of massively parallel and interactiveprogramming languages using rv-systems (interactive systems with registers and voices) and Agapia programming. It includes a few theoretical results on FISs (finite interactive systems), the underlying mechanism used for specifying control and interaction in these systems. First, we give a proof for the undecidability of the emptiness problem

Strategy-based and knowledge-based models of information flow: equivalence and decidability

We show that two notions of information flow, one which is strategy-based and the other knowledge-based, are equivalent. The first notion models the possibilities that a highlevel user has to send information to the low-level user by distinctly observable runs, whereas the second notion models information leak as variations in the knowledge of the low-level user during his observation of the system behavior. We also give an algorithm for deciding

High-level Structured Interactive Programs with Registers and Voices

A model (consisting of rv-systems), a core programming language (for developing rv-programs), several specification and analysis techniques appropriate for modeling, programming and reasoning about interactive computing systems have been introduced by Stefanescu in 2004 using register machines and space-time duality, see [Stefanescu 2006, Stefanescu 2006b]. Later on, Dragoi and Stefanescu have introduced structured programming techniques for programming
