A brief explanation is given of the language ANISE (Architectural Notions In Service Engineering) that can be used to describe generic services as well as telecommunications servi...
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 ...
