Embedded systems are pervasive and frequently used for critical systems with time-dependent functionality. Dwyer et al. have developed qualitative specification patterns to facili...
Roughly speaking, adequatness is the property of a theorem proving method to solve simpler problems faster than more difficult ones. Automated inferencing methods are often not ad...
Order-sorted logic has been formalized as first-order logic with sorted terms where sorts are ordered to build a hierarchy (called a sort-hierarchy). These sorted logics lead to u...
In order to handle inconsistent knowledge bases in a reasonable way, one needs a logic which allows nontrivial inconsistent theories. Logics of this sort are called paraconsistent...
Probabilistic timed automata, a variant of timed automata extended with discrete probability distributions, is a specification formalism suitable for describing both nondeterminis...
