Most efforts to automate formal verification of communicating systems have centred around finite-state systems (FSSs). However, FSSs are incapable of modelling many practical comm...
The design, implementation, and testing of virtual environments is complicated by the concurrency and realtime features of these systems. Therefore, the development of formal meth...
