Abstract. A mathematical semantics is proposed for the notion of architectural connector, in the style defined by Allen and Garlan, that builds on Goguen’s categorical approach t...
Lightweight formal modeling and automatic analysis were used to explore the design of the Intentional Naming System (INS), a new scheme for resource discovery in a dynamic network...
The ability to treat code as data within a programming language is a powerful feature. Smalltalk introduces an object called a block that represents code as data. We propose a for...
Experience has shown that prototypingis a valuabletechnique in the validation of designs. However, the prototype(s) can be too far semantically removed from the design. Animation ...
This paper describes the application of advanced formal modelling techniques and tools from the CADP toolset to the verification of CFS, a distributed file system kernel. After a ...
