Modeling and simulation tools have been used for helping in the early stages of hardware/software systems design. The DEVS formalism is a technique that enables hierarchical descr...
Describing an application as a simple composition of services allows advanced features that exploit different platforms to be conceived e formalized at a high abstraction level. S...
We present a possible world semantics for a call-by-value higherorder programming language with impredicative polymorphism, general references, and recursive types. The model is o...
Relations between models are important for effective automatic validation, for comparing implementations with specifications, and for increased understanding of embedded systems d...
ics for abstraction Chiara Ghidini1 and Fausto Giunchiglia2 Abstract. The goal of this paper is to propose a model-theoretic formalization of abstraction, where abstraction is mode...
