Abstract. We present a model of object-oriented and component-based refinement. For object-orientation, the model is class-based and refinement is about correct changes in the stru...
We introduce a mathematical model of components that can be used for the description of both hardware and software units forming distributed interactive systems. As part of a distr...
The well-known successive refinement scenario is extended to vector sources where individual distortion constraints are posed on every vector component. This extension is then util...
State-based refinement relations have been developed for use on the Object-Z components in an integrated Object-Z / CSP specification. However this refinement methodology does not ...
Queries over XML documents challenge search engines to return the most relevant XML components that satisfy the query concepts. In a previous work[6] we described an algorithm to ...
