Abstract. We introduce a visual notation for local specification of concurrent components based on message sequence charts (MSCs). Each component is a finite-state machine whose ...
Most recent software related accidents have been system accidents. To validate the absence of system hazards concerning dysfunctional interactions, industrials call for approaches...
Abstract. Model-Driven Engineering places models as first-class artifacts throughout the software lifecycle requiring the availability of proper transformation languages. Although...
Despite the growing research effort in formal verification, constraint-based random simulation remains an integral part of design validation, especially for large design componen...
Symmetry reduction holds great promise to counter the state explosion problem. However, currently it is “conducting a life on the fringe”, and is not widely applied, mainly du...
