Component based design is a new paradigm to build distributed systems and applications. The problem of compositional verification of such systems is however still open. We investig...
We investigate the major mathematical theories of space from a modal standpoint: topology, affine geometry, metric geometry, and vector algebra. This allows us to see new fine-str...
We present a pattern-based method to express time specifications in the language TLA+ . A real-time module RealTimeNew is introduced to encapsulate the definitions of commonly used...
This paper studies five real-world data intensive workflow applications in the fields of natural language processing, astronomy image analysis, and web data analysis. Data intensiv...
Framing in the presence of data abstraction is a challenging and important problem in the verification of object-oriented programs [LLM07]. The dynamic frames approach is a promisi...
