In order to check whether an open system satisfies a desired property, we need to check the behavior of the system with respect to an arbitrary environment. In the most general se...
We present a technique that enables the use of finite model finding to check the satisfiability of certain formulas whose intended models are infinite. Such formulas arise when us...
In component-based software development, it is important to ensure interoperability between components based on their unambiguous semantic descriptions, in order to obtain a viabl...
According to Parnas's information hiding principle and Baldwin and Clark's design rule theory, the key step to decomposing a system into modules is to determine the desi...
