Abstract. We present a model of object-oriented and component-based refinement. For object-orientation, the model is class-based and refinement is about correct changes in the stru...

Model checking tools based on the iterative refinement of predicate abstraction (e.g., Slam and Blast) often feature a specification language for expressing complex behavior rules....
Abstract. Many software model checkers are based on predicate abstraction. If the verification goal depends on pointer structures, the approach does not work well, because it is di...
We present a proof-technique for reducing the nondeterminbstract agent specifications in a BDI framework by means of refinement. We implement the operational semantics of agent sp...
