We study the monitoring and fault-diagnosis problems for dense-time real-time systems, where observers (monitors and diagnosers) have access to digital rather than analog clocks. ...
This paper presents behavior contracts as a new assertion mechanism and a tool that uses such contracts to support the testing of Object-Oriented (OO) systems. A behavior contract...
Interface formalisms are able to model both the input requirements and the output behavior of system components; they support both bottom-up component-based design, and top-down de...
