A previous paper introduced eternity variables as an alternative to the prophecy variables of Abadi and Lamport and proved the formalism to be semantically complete: every simulat...
In this paper, we introduce a simple but formal service description language (ForSeL) for modelbased requirements engineering. The basic notion in ForSeL is a service representing...
We define a cones and foci proof method, which rephrases the question whether two system specifications are branching bisimilar in terms of proof obligations on relations between ...
Formal notations for system performance modeling need to be equipped with suitable notations for specifying performance measures. These companion notations have been traditionally...
We describe a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)-based algorithm for sampling solutions to mixed Boolean/integer constraint problems. The focus of this work differs in two points from...
