: The specification of a software system must include all relevant static and dynamic aspects of the domain. Dynamic aspects are usually specified by means of a behavioral schema c...
In this paper, we propose a means to enhance an architecture description language with a description of component behavior. A notation used for this purpose should be able to expr...
The complexity of hardware/software codesign of embedded real-time signal processing systems can be reduced by rapid system prototyping (RSP). However, existing RSP frameworks do n...

Reconfigurable software is highly desired for automated machine tool control systems for low-cost products and short time to market. In this paper, we propose a software architectu...
Abstract. The paper motivates and describes a model oriented approach for consistent specification of interface suites in UML. An interface suite is a coherent collection of interf...

with functions over those sets. This level of abstraction is commensurate with the view that the correctness of the input/output behaviour of a program takes precedence over all it...
Abstract. Virtual professional communities require a strong coevolution of their social and information systems. To ensure that the evolutionary process of their socio-technical sy...
Dynamics are an important aspect of agent models. Control of dynamics requires specific methods of specification that have their own specific semantics. This paper addresses speci...

Specification reduction can reduce test time, consequently, test cost. In this paper, a methodology to reduce specifications during specification testing for analog circuit is prop...
Typically, program design involves constructing a program P that implements a given specification S; that is, the set P of executions of P is a subset of the set S of executions s...
