Constraint diagrams were introduced by Kent, in 1997, as an alternative to the OCL for placing formal constraints on software models. Since their introduction, constraint diagrams...
We present a compositional semantics of synchronous systems that captures both safety and progress properties of such systems. The fair synchronous transitions systems (fsts) mode...
We summarize some current trends in embedded systems design and point out some of their characteristics, such as the chasm between analytical and computational models, and the gap ...
According to the traditional conception of the mind, semantical content is perhaps the most important feature distinguishing mental from non-mental systems. And this traditional co...
