| Research Type | Theoretical | We prove here that these protocols are implementable, that their partial correctness is decidable and that termination and two forms of fair termination of these protocols are decidable, as well. To establish these results we show that the deļ¬nition of semantics and of truth of the underlying logic are decidable. |

| Pseudocode | No | The paper describes the syntax of component programs and rules (e.g., "[[]b Na,C PFa C Ka Fb C ab]") in Section 4, which is a high-level textual description of the protocol structure, but it does not provide structured pseudocode blocks or algorithms with step-by-step instructions in a code-like format. |
| Open Source Code | No | The paper does not contain any explicit statement about making source code available for the methodology described, nor does it provide a link to a code repository. Mentions of other tools are in the 'Related Work' section and do not refer to the authors' own implementation. |
| Open Datasets | No | The paper is theoretical, focusing on formal semantics and decidability proofs for gossip protocols. It uses abstract agent and secret sets in examples but does not utilize any empirical datasets, publicly available or otherwise. |
| Dataset Splits | No | The paper is theoretical and does not involve experimental evaluation on datasets. Therefore, there is no mention of dataset splits such as training, validation, or test sets. |
| Hardware Specification | No | The paper is theoretical and presents proofs regarding the decidability of gossip protocols. It does not describe any experimental setup that would require specific hardware, thus no hardware specifications are provided. |
| Software Dependencies | No | The paper focuses on theoretical proofs and formal logic. It does not mention any specific software libraries, frameworks, or tools with version numbers that were used for implementation or experimentation related to the authors' work. |
| Experiment Setup | No | The paper is theoretical and does not describe any experiments or empirical evaluations. Consequently, there are no details regarding an experimental setup, hyperparameters, or system-level training settings. |
