We consider a specific kind of Abstract State Machines. It is shown how the machines can be used to provide a low-level formal semantics for a tiny object-oriented language, inclu...
Objects model the world, and state is fundamental to a faithful modeling. Engineers use state machines to understand and reason about state transitions, but programming languages ...

We present an implemented technique for generating test cases from state machine specifications. The work is motivated by a need for testing of protocols and services developed b...
Most information extraction (IE) systems identify facts that are explicitly stated in text. However, in natural language, some facts are implicit, and identifying them requires ...
Testing is among the most effective tools available for finding bugs. Still, we know of no automatic technique for generating test cases that expose bugs involving a combination ...
