Communities of autonomous units are being developed for formal specification and semantic analysis of systems of interacting and mobile components. The autonomous units of a commu...
We present a formal semantics for a subset of Verilog, commonly used to describe cell libraries, in terms of transition systems. Such transition systems can serve as input to symb...
This paper presents PiDES, a formalism for discrete event simulation based on Pi-calculus. PiDES provides a rigorous semantics of behavior modeling and coordination for simulation...
Given a program S and a precondition Q, the strongest postcondition, denoted sp(S Q), is defined as the strongest condition that holds after the execution of S, given that S term...
In this paper, precedence constraint combination formalisms defined in the software domain are used to define the behavior of hardware systems. Specifically, AND-join and various ...
