In this paper, the Quantum-inspired Genetic Algorithms with the population of a single individual are formalized by a Markov chain model using a single and the stored best individ...
In the context of service-oriented computing, behavioural contracts are descriptions of the message-passing behaviour of services. They can be used to check properties of service c...
Abstract. In order to design and analyse complex systems, modelers need formal models with two contradictory requirements: a high expressivity and the decidability of behavioural p...
We present here a formal foundation for an iterative and incremental approach to constructing and evaluating preference queries. Our main focus is query modification: a query tran...
In earlier work, we have introduced Secure Tropos, a requirements engineering methodology that extends the Tropos methodology and is intended for the design and analysis of securit...
