Feature models are commonly used to capture the commonality and the variability of product families. There are several feature model notations that correspondingly depict the conce...
Nested codes have been employed in a large number of communication applications as a specific case of superposition codes, for example to implement binning schemes in the presence ...
In this paper we present methods to generate a Description Logic (DL) theory from a given First Order Logic (FOL) theory, such that each DL axiom is entailed by the given FOL theor...
Using the language Z for more than specification is hindered by the fact that its algebra of schemas is not monotonic with respect to refinement; so specification is modular, but ...
Studying industrial systems by simulation enables the designer to study the dynamic behaviour and to determine some characteristics of the system. Unfortunately, simulation also h...
