This paper addresses the problem of automatic generation of implementation software from high-level functional specifications in the context of embedded system on chip designs. So...
One important aspect in directing cognitive robots or agents is to formally specify what is expected of them. This is often referred to as goal specification. For agents whose act...
Under certain constraints the test case generation problem can be represented as a model checking problem, thus enabling the use of powerful model checking tools to perform the te...
We present a method to systematically detect feature interactions in requirements, which are expressed as constraints on system event traces. We show its application on the lift sy...
We analyze the multi-party contract-signing protocols of Garay and MacKenzie (GM) and of Baum and Waidner (BW). We use a finite-state tool, MOCHA, which allows specification of pr...
