Abstract. Refinement plays a crucial role in "top-down" styles of verification, such as the refinement calculus, but for probabilistic systems proof of refinement is a pa...
Until recently, most data integration techniques involved central components, e.g., global schemas, to enable transparent access to heterogeneous databases. Today, however, with t...
Abstract. Task-structured probabilistic input/output automata (taskPIOAs) are concurrent probabilistic automata that, among other things, have been used to provide a formal framewo...

Probabilistic B (pB) [2, 8] extends classical B [7] to incorporate probabilistic updates together with the specification of quantitative safety properties. As for classical B, prob...
Abstract. The question of equivalence has long vexed research in concurrency, leading to many different denotational- and bisimulation-based approaches; a breakthrough occurred wit...
