We give a denotational framework (a "meta model") within which certain properties of models of computation can be understood and compared. It describes concurrent proces...
Database systems for real-time applications must satisfy timing constraints associated with transactions. Typically, a timing constraint is expressed in the form of a deadline and ...
The HATS project develops a formal method for the design, analysis, and implementation of highly adaptable software systems that are at the same time characterized by a high demand...
— While planning the execution of report-generation workloads, database administrators often need to know how long different query workloads will take to run. Database systems ru...
This paper presents a means of structuring specifications in real-time Object-Z: an integration of Object-Z with the timed refinement calculus. Incremental modification of classes ...
