Abstract. Goguen emphasized long ago that colimits are how to compose systems [7]. This paper corroborates and elaborates Goguen's vision by presenting a variety of situations...
Discrete-Time Markov Chains (DTMCs) are a widely-used formalism to model probabilistic systems. On the one hand, available tools like PRISM or MRMC offer efficient model checking a...
The growing complexity of systems and their implementation into silicon encourages designers to look for model designs at higher levels of abstraction and then incrementally build ...
Bounded Model Checking (BMC) searches for counterexamples to a property with a bounded length k. If no such counterexample is found, k is increased. This process terminates when ...
Multi-agent systems are an increasingly important software paradigm and in many of its applications agents cooperate to achieve a particular goal. This requires the design of effi...
