In this paper, we propose a new formalism, named the Timed Communicating Finite State Machine (Timed CFSM), for specifying and verifying time-critical systems. Timed CFSM preserve...
Defining information required by automatic test systems frequently involves a description of system behavior. To facilitate capturing the required behavior information in the cont...
Refinement is the notion of development between formal specifications. For specifications given in a relational formalism, downward and upward simulations are the standard meth...
Critical software most often requires an independent validation and verification (IVV). IVV is usually performed by domain experts, who are not familiar with specific, many times ...
Abstract. This paper presents liveness properties that need to be preserved by Event-B models of distributed systems. Event-B is a formal technique for development of models of dis...
