Model fields are specification-only fields that encode abstractions of the concrete state of a data structure. They allow specifications to describe the behavior of object-oriented...
This paper introduces a formally specified design of a compositional generic agent model (GAM). This del abstracts from specific application domains; it provides a unified formal ...

In software engineering projects, there are two different types of modeling tools. On the one hand, there are tools to model the system under construction, i.e. tools for requirem...
Designing architectural frameworks without the aid of formal modeling is error prone. But, unless supported by analysis, formal modeling is prone to its own class of errors, in wh...
Formalization is a necessary precondition for the specification of precise and unambiguous use case models, which serve as reference points for the design and implementation of so...
