An approach for specifying the management of a distributed system is herein described. Based on this formal approach, a management can be generated. The base of the specification ...
Abstract. This paper shows that we can take advantage of information about the probabilities of the occurrences of events, when this information is available, to refine the classic...
Abstract. Dynamic fault trees (DFTs) are a versatile and common formalism to model and analyze the reliability of computer-based systems. This paper presents a formal semantics of ...
Abstract. The development of critical systems requires a high assurance process from requirements to the running code. Formal methods, such as B, now provide industry-strength tool...
Sustainability has recently emerged as a key issue in process systems engineering (PSE). Mathematical programming techniques offer a general modeling framework for including enviro...
