Abstract. Refinement plays a crucial role in "top-down" styles of verification, such as the refinement calculus, but for probabilistic systems proof of refinement is a pa...
Stepwise refinement is at the core of many approaches to synthesis and optimization of hardware and software systems. For instance, it can be used to build a synthesis approach for...
The reactivity of Networked Automation Systems (NAS) has direct influence on safety and quality aspects. It can be determined by a response time analysis, which itself can be calc...
It has been recognised for some time that there are close links between the various logics developed for the analysis of multi-agent systems and the many game-theoretic models dev...

Confidentiality-preserving refinement describes a relation between a specification and an implementation that ensures that all confidentiality properties required in the specificat...
