In this paper, a novel method for high-level specification and validation of SoC designs using UML is proposed. UML is introduced as a formal model of specification for SoC design...
A general logical framework is presented to represent speech acts that have institutional effects. It is based on the concepts of the Speech Act Theory and takes the form of the FI...
We establish a decidability boundary of the model checking problem for infinite-state systems defined by Process Rewrite Systems (PRS) or weakly extended Process Rewrite Systems (w...
Many applications can be modeled as subgraph isomorphism problems. However, this problem is generally NP-complete and difficult to compute. A custom computing circuit is a prospect...
A problem of great interest in the control of hybrid systems is the design of least restrictive controllers for reachability specifications. Controller design typically uses game t...
