This paper introduces a new logical formalism, intended for temporal conceptual modelling, as a natural combination of the well-known description logic DLR and point-based linear ...
Abstract. Model-checking alternating-time properties has recently attracted much interest in the verification of distributed protocols. While checking the validity of a specificati...
This paper investigates a complexity-effective technique for verifying a highly distributed directory-based cache coherence protocol. We develop a novel approach called “witnes...
We investigate a variant of dense-time Duration Calculus which permits model checking using timed/hybrid automata. We define a variant of the Duration Calculus, called Interval Du...
Model checking and other finite-state analysis techniques have been very successful when used with hardware systems and less successful with software systems. It is especially di...
