Abstract. In the past years Software Engineering has experienced several difficulties in modularising crosscutting aspects, like shared, dynamic or scattered behavior of object-ori...
We present an interface theory based approach to static analysis of actor models. We first introduce a new interface theory, which is based on Interface Automata, and which is ca...
with existing analysis tools. Modular reasoning principles such as abstraction, compositional refinement, and assume-guarantee reasoning are well understood for architectural hiera...
This paper reports on an empirical study designed as a follow-up of a theoretical model intended to support reasoning about the composition of smart artifacts by end-users. We hav...
This article presents a general framework for integrating reasoning about object structure and concept taxonomies. The structural relations in the domain of objects discussed are ...
