Abstract. Adaptive multiscale methods are among the many effective techniques for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. Efficient grid management is an import...
Abstract. Action refinement in process algebras has been widely studied in the last few years as a means to support top-down design of systems. A specific notion of refinement aris...
Abstract. Quantitative verification techniques are able to establish system properties such as "the probability of an airbag failing to deploy on demand" or "the exp...
Abstract. Formal methods emphasizes the need for a top-down approach when developing large reliable software systems. Refinements are map step by step abstract algebraic specificat...
Abstract. We present a model of object-oriented and component-based refinement. For object-orientation, the model is class-based and refinement is about correct changes in the stru...
