Abstract. In predicate abstraction, exact image computation is problematic, requiring in the worst case an exponential number of calls to a decision procedure. For this reason, sof...
MSC is a visual formalism for specifying the behavior of systems. To obtain implementations for individual processes, the MSC choice construction poses fundamental problems. The be...
In this paper we propose a high-level description of the behavior of digital systems. Behaviors are specified with a graphical synchronous model: “SyncCharts”. SyncCharts supp...
The complex interactions appearing in service-oriented computing make coordination a key concern in serviceoriented systems. In this paper, we present a fault-based method to gene...
