The main focus of this paper is the problem of ensuring timeliness in safety critical systems. First, we introduce a method and its associated technique to model both real-time ta...
In this paper we introduce a formal framework for the construction of normative multiagent systems, based on Searle’s notion of the construction of social reality. Within the st...
State machine based formalisms such as labelled transition systems (LTS) are generally assumed to be complete descriptions m behaviour at some level of abstraction: if a labelled ...
Relations between models are important for effective automatic validation, for comparing implementations with specifications, and for increased understanding of embedded systems d...
We present a model of recursive and impredicatively quantified types with mutable references. We interpret in this model all of the type constructors needed for typed intermediate...
