Canonical finite state machines for distributed systems
There has been much interest in testing from finite state machines (FSMs) as a result of their suitability for modelling or specifying state-based systems. Where there are multip...

A History of the Virtual Synchrony Replication Model
In this chapter, we discuss a widely used fault-tolerant data replication model called virtual synchrony. The model responds to two kinds of needs. First, there is the practical qu...

Transformation of B specifications into UML class diagrams and state machines
We propose a rule-based approach for transforming B abstract machines into UML diagrams. We believe that important insight into the structure underlying a B model can be gained by...
