Formal methods are a nice idea, but the size and complexity of real systems means that they are impractical. We propose that a reasonable alternative to attempting to specify and ...
Being the de-facto standard (object-oriented-OO) method(-logy) for software-intensive systems development, UML with its different diagrams and supporting tools represent nowadays t...
Simulation is used in the design process of dynamic systems. The results of simulation are employed for validating a model, and they are helpful for the improvement of the design ...
Designing safety-critical systems is a complex process, and especially when the design is carried out at different f abstraction where the correctness of the design at one level i...
The paper targets the applicability of model-driven methodologies to the validation of complex systems and presents a case study of a mobile radio network. Validation relies on the...
