Abstract. In order to support the dependability analysis of a system under design in an early phase of the design process, so-called fault tolerance libraries can be created that c...
In this work, novel symbolic step encodings of the transition relation for object based communicating state machines are presented. This class of systems is tailored to capture the...
Abstract. We review the definition of entity types derived by symbolgenerating rules. These types appear frequently in conceptual schemas. However, up to now they have received ver...
In this paper, we present a technique to design and verify the Look-Aside (LA-1) Interface standard used in network processors. Our design flow includes several refinements starti...
Use cases have achieved wide use as specification tools for systems observable behavior, but there still remains a large gap between specifying behavior and determining the softwar...
