Abstract. In this paper we consider the relationship between refinement-oriented specification and specifications using a temporal logic. We investigate the extent to which one can...
Abstract. This paper presents the foundation, design, and implementation of the Linear Temporal Logic of Rewriting model checker as an extension of the Maude system. The Linear Tem...
Increasingly, computer software must adapt dynamically to changing conditions. The correctness of adaptation cannot be rigorously addressed without precisely specifying the require...

Nested words are a structured model of execution paths in procedural programs, reflecting their call and return nesting structure. Finite nested words also capture the structure ...
We consider the temporal logic with since and until modalities. This temporal logic is expressively equivalent over the class of ordinals to first-order logic by Kamp's theore...
