This paper investigates data-refinement by backward simulation for specifications whose semantics is given by partial relations. The standard model-theoretic approach is based on ...
BLIF is a hardware description language designed for the hierarchical description of sequential circuits. We give a denotational semantics for BLIF-MV, a popular dialect of BLIF, t...

The Hindley/Milner type system has been widely adopted as a basis for statically typed functional languages. One of the main reasons for this is that it provides an elegant comprom...
This paper considers compositions of conditional term rewriting systems as a basis for a modular approach to the design and analysis of equational logic programs. In this context,...
Abstract. We present a technique for designing reconfiguration controllers in the Fractal component-based framework. We obtain discrete control loops that automatically enforce saf...
