Automating Refinement Checking in Probabilistic System Design
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...

Towards the evolutionary emergence of increasingly complex advantageous behaviours
The generation of complex entities with advantageous behaviours beyond our manual design capability requires long-term incremental evolution with continuing emergence. In this pap...

rCOS: Refinement of Component and Object Systems
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...

Iterative Refinement of Reverse-Engineered Models by Model-Based Testing
Abstract. This paper presents an iterative technique to accurately reverseengineer models of the behaviour of software systems. A key novelty of the approach is the fact that it us...

Evaluation of Interfaces for IRS: Modelling End-User Searching Behaviour
This paper describes an investigation in progress into the searching behaviour of end-users and how it is affected by interface design. The project focused on qualitative data gat...
