Eliciting, modeling, and analyzing the requirements are the main challenges to face up when you want to produce a formal specification for distributed systems. The distribution and...

Abstract. In an ongoing effort to better understand the process of creating conceptual models (in particular formal ones), we present a fundamental view of the process of modeling...

In the classical framework of formal languages, a refinement n is modeled by a substitution and an abstraction by an inverse substitution. These mechanisms have been widely studie...
Abstract. Abstraction is essential in the formal specification of programs. A common way of writing abstract specifications is to specify implementations in terms of basic mathem...
We present a technique for defining and extracting passage-time densities from high-level stochastic process algebra models. Our high-level formalism is PEPA, a popular Markovian...
