This paper gives a semantics for discrete-event (DE) models that generalizes that of synchronous/reactive (SR) languages, and a continuous-time (CT) semantics that generalizes the...
Abstract. The paper presents methods for model checking a class of possibly infinite state concurrent programs using various types of bi-simulation reductions. The proposed method...
Transformational design is aformal technique directed at design correctness. It integrates design and veriJication by the use of pre-proven behaviour preserving transformations as...
The use of redundant computational nodes is a widely used design tactic to improve the reliability of complex embedded systems. However, this redundancy allocation has also an effe...
Enabling and managing coordination activities between autonomous, possibly mobile, computing entities in dynamic computing scenarios challenges traditional approaches to distribut...
