Many safety- and security-critical systems are real-time systems and, as a result, tools and techniques for verifying real-time systems are extremely important. Simulation and test...
1 Step-wise refinement (SWR) asserts that complex programs can be derived from simple programs by progressively adding features. The length of a program specification is the number...
We present an overview of the program transformation techniques which have been proposed over the past twenty-five years in the context of logic programming. We consider the appro...

This paper develops sound modelling and reasoning methods for imperative programs with pointers: heaps are modelled as mappings from addresses to values, and pointer structures are...
This paper presents Basset, a tool for systematic testing of JVM-based actor programs. The actor programming model offers a promising approach for developing reliable concurrent a...
