This paper proposes a component-based architecture and development methodology for context-aware systems. A context is formally defined from relational point of view. The architec...
This article presents the design of a new functional 2D image segmentation algorithm by cell merging in a subdivision, its proof of total correctness, and the derivation of an opt...
In this paper we overview one specific approach to the formal development of multi-agent systems. This approach is based on the use of temporal logics to represent both the behavio...
The engineering of systems that are acceptably correct is a hard problem. On the one hand, semi-formal modelling approaches that are used in practical, large-scale system developm...
It is widely recognised that software development is a complex process. Among the factors that contribute to its inherent complexity is the gap between the design and the formal a...
