I discuss formal description techniques (FDTs) as they are applied in practice in software and system engineering. Their quality can be measured by their formality, descriptivenes...
Model checking based on validating temporal logic formulas has proven practical and effective for numerous software engineering applications. As systems based on this approach ha...
Distributed discrete event simulation techniques aim at an acceleration of the execution of a self-contained simulation model by the spatial decomposition of that model and the co...
In the design of highly complex, heterogeneous, and concurrent systems, deadlock detection and resolution remains an important issue. In this paper, we systematically analyze the ...
