Abstract: Contracts are a proven tool in software development. They provide specifications for operations that may be statically verified or dynamically validated by contract mon...
Behavioral software contracts express properties concerning the flow of values across component (modules, classes, etc) interfaces. These properties are often beyond the reach of ...
