Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new approach for formal verification of hybrid systems. To do so, we present a new refinement proof technique, a weak refinement using step in...
Abstract. We provide a formal characterization of a notion of contextual taxonomy, that is to say, a taxonomy holding only with respect to a specific context. To this aim, a new pr...
This paper presents a technique for incrementally constructing safety specifications, abstract algorithm descriptions, and simulation proofs showing that algorithms meet their spe...

Use Cases are a wide-spread informal method for specifying the requirements of a technical system in the early development phase. Z is a formal notation which aims to support, bes...
