The development of test cases is an important issue for testing software, communication protocols and other reactive systems. A number of methods are known for the development of ...
Constraints formalize the dependencies in a physical world in terms of a logical relation among several unknowns. Constraint satisfaction methods allow efficient navigation of larg...
— Modern SAT solvers have proved highly successful in finding counterexamples to temporal properties of systems, using a method known as ”bounded model checking”. It is natu...
Asynchronous data communication mechanisms (ACMs) have been extensively studied as data connectors between independently timed concurrent processes. In previous work, an automatic ...
The ‘engineering’ and ‘adaptive’ approaches to system production are distinguished. It is argued that producing reliable self-organised software systems (SOSS) will necessa...
