This paper investigates data-refinement by backward simulation for specifications whose semantics is given by partial relations. The standard model-theoretic approach is based on ...
Hierarchical state machines is a popular visual formalism for software specifications. To apply automated analysis to such specifications, the traditional approach is to compile th...
Hierarchical state machines are finite state machines whose states themselves can be other machines. In spite of their popularity in many modeling tools for software design, very l...
Extraction of phrasal knowledge, such as proper names, domain-specific keyphrases and lexical templates from a domain-specific text collection are significant for developing effec...
In this work we discuss a number of issues for the design of hypertext systems in an actor-based model of computation. We examine how the "traditional" basic concepts whi...
