Optimizing Slicing of Formal Specifications by Deductive Verification
Slicing is a technique for extracting parts of programs or specifications with respect to certain criteria of interest. The extraction is carried out in such a way that properties ...

A formally grounded software specification method
One of the goals of software engineering is to provide what is necessary to write relevant, legible, useful descriptions of the systems to be developed, which will be the basis of...

Automatic Symmetry Detection for Promela
We introduce a specification language, Promela-Lite, which captures the essential features of Promela but which, unlike Promela, has a formally defined semantics. We show how we ca...

Specification of communicating processes: temporal logic versus refusals-based refinement
Abstract. In this paper we consider the relationship between refinement-oriented specification and specifications using a temporal logic. We investigate the extent to which one can...

Reasoning about Computations Using Two-Levels of Logic
We describe an approach to using one logic to reason about specifications written in a second logic. One level of logic, called the "reasoning logic", is used to state th...
