Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new approach for formal verification of hybrid systems. To do so, we present a new refinement proof technique, a weak refinement using step in...
Abstract. This paper develops a highly expressive semantic framework for program refinement that supports both temporal reasoning and reasoning about the knowledge of a single agen...
Weintroduce a method of deduction-based refinement planning where prefabricated general solutions are adapted to special problems. Refmementproceeds by stepwise transforming nonco...
Abstract. CSP is a well-established formalism for modelling and verification of concurrent reactive systems based on refinement. Consolidated denotational models and an effective t...
A calculus is presented for the stepwise refinement of abstract information flow architectures. We give a mathematical model for information flow components based on relations bet...
