			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alex Busenius and me are pleased to announce that <a href="http://www.infsec.cs.uni-sb.de/projects/expi2java">Expi2Java 1.6</a> was released two days ago. And by the way, <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=117101109">Alex</a> has recently finished his MSc and is looking for a job in industry. If you know anything interesting in a German or English speaking country, please let him know.</p>
<blockquote><p>
Expi2Java 1.6 was released yesterday (11.05.2011)</p>
<p>The highlights of this release are the new symbolic library and a mechanized formalization in Coq.</p>
<p>The symbolic library abstracts away cryptographic primitives as symbolic terms and networking as pi-calculus-like channels.  It is designed to be sound and simple enough to simplify proving the transformation secure. Both the symbolic and concrete libraries can be used interchangeably with all provided examples.</p>
<p>We have formalized the transformation from Expi Calculus to a subset of Java performed by Expi2Java using the Coq proof assistant and proved the symbolic library and the produced Java code to be well-typed.  The formalization and all proofs can be found on the project homepage.</p>
<p>The full list of changes:<span id="more-976"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Removed support for user-provided imports. All implementation classes should be included into the used implementation library</li>
<li>Refactored concrete library</li>
<li>A symbolic library can now be generated from the provided configuration
<ul>
<li>Both concrete and symbolic libraries can be used interchangeably with all provided example protocols</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>New restrictions for the type of constructors:
<ul>
<li>The return type can no longer be a type variable</li>
<li>All type variables used in the type of an Expi constructor must appear in its return type</li>
<li>Return type can no longer be Top (unimplementable)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Constructors used in the destructor declarations must always be annotated</li>
<li>Changes to the type inference algorithm:
<ul>
<li>The variables from the right side of the reduction rule are no longer used to infer type of the variables on the left side of the reduction rule</li>
<li>More precise type inference in some cases</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Changed the set of default types
<ul>
<li>Merged Expi types String and ConstString to ExpiString</li>
<li>Changed variance of some default types to avoid problems with destructor inconsistency</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>As always, an updated version of the documentation is available as well.</p>
<p>Please take a look at the project homepage for more details and download links:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nu mi se pare deloc justă retorica de sorginte mogulistă conform căreia actuala putere este singura vinovată pentru <em>toate</em> problemele actuale, mai ales cele economice^1, iar coalizarea opoziției actuale reprezintă singura salvare de la acest dezastru^2. Ideea eu o consider complet greșită, pentru că opoziția actuală din Parlament nu e cu nimic mai presus decât actuala putere, ci dimpotrivă, ambele sunt un dezastru pentru România.</p>
<p><span id="more-916"></span></p>
<p>În afară de &#8220;soluția&#8221; Iohannis, care încerca să se folosească de popularitatea unui singur om pentru a ne băga pe gât același lucru pe care l-am înghițit până acum, ce alte soluții a prezentat până acum actuala opoziție? Din punct de vedere economic &#8220;soluția&#8221; PSD e impozitarea progresivă, deși cel mai probabil <a href="http://www.sar.org.ro/blog/?p=1667">asta ar scădea nu spori încasările la buget</a>. Asta în timp ce PNL+PC susțin păstrarea cotei unice de 16%. Consens maxim pe această problemă! La fel conses maxim între PNL și PC pentru <a href="http://www.romanialibera.ro/blog/serban.buscu/alianta-voiculescu-antonescu-ne-promite-crestere-economica-de-25-pe-an-212642.html">creștere de 25% pe an</a> și alte <a href="http://blogponta.wordpress.com/2011/01/07/agenda-2019/">povești de adormit copiii</a>.<br />
În rest, încrâncenare maximă la <em>orice</em> propunere a puterii, chiar și la puținele care sunt rezonabile. Vezi de exemplu circul făcut de PSD cu legea educației, o lege pregătită în mare parte de PSD când era la putere împreună cu PDL și bazată pe un pact al educației pe care Mircea Geoana l-a semnat când încă era președinte al PSD. Coerență maximă! Nici nu trebuie să mai spun <a href="http://www.realitatea.net/baconschi-nu-acceptam-aderarea-croatiei-la-ue-fara-monitorizare-pe-justitie-daca-ni-se-mentine-mcv_787766.html">despre cât de jalnică e actuala putere</a>, pentru că propagandă mogulistă prezintă deja asta în cel mai mic detaliu. La fel nu mai trebuie să menționez <a href="http://www.romaniacurata.ro/">cât de corupți sunt cu toții, știm asta prea bine</a>.</p>
<p>Din această cauză, eu cred că pentru o schimbare în bine a clasei politice românești ar trebui să apară partide noi și să le înlocuiască în timp pe cele existente. Unul din aceste partide noi care ar putea avea succes este <a href="http://www.miscareaverzilor.eu/">Mișcarea Verzilor</a> &#8212; eu cel puțin sper sincer acest lucru. Un altul (<a href="http://www.mediafax.ro/politic/sebastian-lazaroiu-anunta-aparitia-partidului-alba-ca-zapada-vezi-aici-scenariile-politice-ale-consilierului-prezidential-cu-scufita-rosie-mos-craciun-fetita-cu-chibrituri-7059325">partidul Alba ca Zăpada</a>?) ar putea să se rupă din PDL odată cu plecarea Monicăi Macovei și a lui Cristi Preda (eu nu cred că vor mai rezista mult în mult prea coruptul PDL). Un altul ar putea veni dinspre societatea civilă, de exemplu <a href="http://www.sar.org.ro/">SAR</a> și <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alina_Mungiu-Pippidi">Alina Mungiu-Pippidi</a> ar putea să încerce să se implice mai direct în viața politică. Sau poate <a href="http://www.romanialibera.ro/autor/cristian-ghinea-470.html">Cristian Ghinea</a> să se încumete să facă &#8220;<a href="http://www.crpe.ro/eng/index">Partidul Pentru Politici Europene</a>&#8220;? Deși acestea nu sunt decât speculații, astfel de alternative ar aduce ceva diferit față de ce se întâmplă deja pe scena politică românească. Depinde numai de noi dacă vrem să ne mulțumim doar cu o &#8220;rotații de cadre&#8221; între putere și opoziție făcute în speranța că românii au memoria foarte scurtă, sau dacă vrem să creăm sau să sprijinim alternative reale.</p>
<p>^1 Oricât de prost a gestionat Boc criza economică, nu a adus-o el peste România (în același fel cum nu a adus-o Obama pe cea din SUA), și măsurile populiste luate de <em>toate</em> partidele nu ne-au ajutat deloc să fim pregătiți pentru această criză. E foarte ușor să mărești electoral cheltuielile pe datorie în speranța că va fi boom forever și n-o să se prindă nimeni. Din păcate n-a fost! Costul electoral nu-l plătește însă decât PDL.</p>
<p>^2 Comparația pe care am văzut că unii o fac între CDR și &#8220;Alianța Grivco&#8221; nu e deloc perfectă. Într-adevăr, ambele au fost/sunt alianțe împotriva unui partid care risca/riscă să monopolizeze spațiul politic (atunci FSN/PDSR/PSD, acum PDL). Într-adevăr, ambele au fost sau sunt alianțe între dreapta și stânga, deci fără o bază doctrinară solidă. Marea diferență e că CDR promitea schimbarea aducând oameni și idei <strong>noi</strong> la putere, o putere până atunci acaparată de FSN/PDSR. Nu le-a prea reușit CDR-iștilor, dar măcar a fost o încercere de a schimba ceva. Prin contrast Alianța Grivco nu mi se pare decât o încercare de &#8220;rebranding&#8221; a unor partide depășite care și-au demonstrat deja inabilitățile pe toate planurile, și care nu s-au schimbat câtuși de puțin.</p>

<p>Ingredients:</p>
<ul>
<li>Vegetables: paprika, parsley, fenel, celery, leek, chives, garlic</li>
<li>Fish stock (you can find it in French supermarkets, fr. Soupe de Poissons)</li>
<li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouille">Rouille</a> (you can find it in French supermarkets)</li>
<li>Fish, mussels, shrimps (e.g. fr. Dos de <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cod">Cabillaud</a>, Filet de <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merlangius_merlangus">Merlan</a>, Filet de <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_plaice">Plie</a>, Noix de <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_scallop">Petoncles</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrimp">Crevettes</a>)</li>
<li>Croutons and grated cheese (e.g. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmental_%28cheese%29">Emmentaler</a>) </li>
</ul>
<p>Preparation:<br />
Wash, cut and boil the vegetables in a big pot with not too much water. When the vegetables are boiled, dissolve the Rouille into the pot. Fry the mussels and fish with butter in the pan and add them round after round to the pot. Add the shrimps directly to the pot (they don&#8217;t really need cooking). Add the fish stock to the pot, and make it hot but without boiling it. Serve hot with croutons and grated cheese.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The ICFP 2010 talks are <a href="http://vimeo.com/album/1468571">online</a> for some days &#8230; hours and hours of home entertainment! Here is the presentation of my favorite ICFP 2010 paper:</p>
<div class='embed-vimeo' style='text-align:center;'><iframe src='http://player.vimeo.com/video/16540312' width='400' height='300' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<p>And here is my own stressed and tired talk (for a <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/adg/RADICAL2010/movies/mp4_day1/4%20Catalin%20Hritcu.mp4">less stressed version see this</a>):</p>
<div class='embed-vimeo' style='text-align:center;'><iframe src='http://player.vimeo.com/video/16539521' width='400' height='300' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<p>It&#8217;s amazing how much you can learn from a video of your own talk. So many times your impression as a speaker about what the audience got out of your talk are completely off. I wish more conferences would record talks, then maybe the talks would get better.</p>

<p>A funny quote from the TED talk:</p>
<blockquote><p>Okay. There&#8217;s something important to be learned from these people, and it is the secret of happiness. Here it is, finally to be revealed.</p>
<ol>
<li>accrue wealth, power, and prestige, then lose it.</li>
<li>spend as much of your life in prison as you possibly can.</li>
<li>make somebody else really, really rich.</li>
<li>never ever join the Beatles.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.infsec.cs.uni-saarland.de/projects/dverify">DVerify</a> is a new tool for verifying <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/dminor/">Dminor</a> programs. It achieves pretty much the same thing as the <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/dminor/">Dminor type-checker</a>, just in a quite different way: DVerify translates Dminor programs into a quite standard while language, and then uses the <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/boogie/">Boogie</a> generic verification condition generator backend to verify the translated program. The soundness of this technique has been proved formally using Coq. DVerify and the Coq proofs are the product of <a href="http://www.infsec.cs.uni-saarland.de/projects/dverify">Thorsten Tarrach&#8217;s recently defended Master&#8217;s thesis</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Computational functions are reflected, at the logical level, as pairs of a precondition and postcondition. [...] A function&#8217;s precondition and postcondition alone determine how it is lifted: its code is ignored. (The conformance of a function’s body to its declared pre- and postcondition<br />
is checked, of course, via a proof obligation [...]) This reflects a philosophy in which the only way of reasoning about the behavior of a function value is via its specification: code never appears within formulae.&#8221; &#8212; It seems that it took a very long time until this extremely natural idea was finally incorporated in a decent Hoare logic for functional programs (and a couple more years until it <a href="http://www.msr-inria.inria.fr/projects/sec/infer/prepost-BFG.pdf">finally reached the world of refinement type systems</a> <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
<p>&#8220;In this paper, we [...] allow specifications to be expressed in higher-order logic. The intuitive justification for this approach is that, if functions can abstract over functions, then specifications must abstract over specifications.&#8221;</p>
