We specify the black box behavior of dataflow components by characterizing the relation between their input and their output histories. We distinguish between three main classes of...
Real-time systems operate in \real," continuous time and state changes may occur at any real-numbered time point. Yet many veri cation methods are based on the assumption that...
We present a framework for formal verification of embedded custom memories. Memory verification is complicated ifficulty in abstracting design parameters induced by the inherently ...
This paper presents a novel evolutionary approach to solve numerical optimization problems, called Adaptive Evolution (AEv). AEv is a new micro-population-like technique because i...
: We concentrate on two major aspects of reactive system design: behavior control and modularity. These are studied from a formal point of view, within the framework of action syst...
