Abstract. We present an approach to security requirements engineering, which makes use of special kinds of problem frames that serve to structure, characterize, analyze, and solve ...
Abstract. We analyze the approximation and smoothness properties of quincunx fundamental refinable functions. In particular, we provide a general way for the construction of quincu...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new approach for formal verification of hybrid systems. To do so, we present a new refinement proof technique, a weak refinement using step in...
Abstract. This paper develops a highly expressive semantic framework for program refinement that supports both temporal reasoning and reasoning about the knowledge of a single agen...
Weintroduce a method of deduction-based refinement planning where prefabricated general solutions are adapted to special problems. Refmementproceeds by stepwise transforming nonco...
