A controversial issue in the formal methods community is the degree to which mathematical sophistication and theorem proving skills should be needed to apply a formal method. A fun...
The design of safety critical systems calls for advanced software engineering models, methods and tools in order to meet the safety requirements that will avoid putting human life ...
In this paper we present a “lightweight” visual formalism that can be used to examine the state space complexity of an interface. The method can form a basis for designing, te...
As modern embedded systems become more integrated and complex, it is crucial to be able to represent systems ple levels of abstraction, so that the design space can be effectively...

Designing architectural frameworks without the aid of formal modeling is error prone. But, unless supported by analysis, formal modeling is prone to its own class of errors, in wh...
