Program verification systems based on automated theorem provers rely on user-provided axioms in order to verify domain-specific properties of code. However, formulating axioms corr...
Component middleware provides dependable and efficient platforms that support key functional, and quality of service (QoS) needs of distributed real-time embedded (DRE) systems. C...
Architectural description languages are a useful tool for modeling complex systems at a high level of abstraction. If based on formal methods, they can also serve for enabling the...
