Abstract. The continuing trend towards more sophisticated technical applications results in an increasing demand for high quality software for complex, safety-critical systems. Des...
The first part of the paper develops a novel, sortally-based approach to the problem of aspectual composition. The account is argued to be superior on both empirical and computati...
Number restrictions are concept constructors that are available in almost all implemented description logic systems. However, even though there has lately been considerable effort...
We seek to support the development of open, distributed applications from patible software abstractions. In order to rigorously specify these abstractions, we are elaborating a for...

Formal description techniques, verification methods, and their tool-based automated application meanwhile provide valuable support for the formal analysis of communication protocol...
