One of the goals of software engineering is to provide what is necessary to write relevant, legible, useful descriptions of the systems to be developed, which will be the basis of...
The paper discusses a proposal of a formal description of ARD+ a conceptual design and hierarchical refinement method for knowledge-based systems. Formalization of method syntax i...
Security and trust are two properties of modern computing systems that are the focus of much recent interest. They play an increasingly significant role in the requirements for mo...
We survey formal methods as they are applied to the development of communication services. We report on industrial and academic projects, consider di erent communication architect...
Security-critical systems are an important application area for formal methods. However, such systems often contain cryptographic subsystems. The natural definitions of these subsy...
