Formal analysis remains outside the mainstream of system design practice. Interactive methods and tools are regarded by some to be on the margin of useful research in this area. Al...
Current formal software engineering methodologies provide a vast array of languages for specifying correctness properties, as well as a wide assortment automated tools that aid in...
The paper introduces a higher-order synchronous data-flow language in which communication channels may themselves transport programs. This provides a mean to dynamically reconfi...
This paper presents three sets of classification schemes for processes, properties, and transitions that can be used to assist in the analysis of real-time systems. These classifi...
This paper presents an approach for specifying complex, structured systems with Evolving Algebras by means of aggregation and composition. Evolving algebras provide a formal method...
