A family of well known problems on graphs includingthe shortest path problem and the data flow analysis problem can be uniformly formulated as a fixed-point problem on graphs. We ...
This paper describes a design specification and analysis framework to support the OO design stage. Structural and behavioral specifications of objects are integrated and formalize...
Abstract. To support model-based development and analysis of embedded systems, the specification language VDM++ has been extended with asynchronous communication and improved timin...
