Symbolic model checking has proved highly successful for large nite-state systems, in which states can be compactly encoded using binary decision diagrams (BDDs) or their variants...
We introduce a game model for an Algol-like programming language with primitives for parallel composition and synchronization on semaphores. The semantics is based on a simplifie...
This paper reports on an empirical study designed as a follow-up of a theoretical model intended to support reasoning about the composition of smart artifacts by end-users. We hav...
A web service is modeled here as a finite state machine. A composition problem for web services is to decide if a given web service can be constructed from a given set of web serv...
Reuse is an important topic in software engineering as it promises advantages like faster time-to-market and cost reduction. Reuse s on an abstract level is more beneficial than o...
