Abstract. Refinement plays a crucial role in "top-down" styles of verification, such as the refinement calculus, but for probabilistic systems proof of refinement is a pa...
— This paper introduces and formally defines the environment-and-system-partitioned property for behavioral models of reactive systems expressed in the formal modeling language ...
Model-checking has turned out to be an efficient and relatively easy-to-use technique in the verification of formally described programs. However, there is one major drawback in u...
System specifications have long been expressed through automata-based languages, enabling verification techniques such as model checking. These verification techniques can assess ...
Agents are a useful abstraction frequently employed as a basic building block in modeling service, information and resource sharing in global environments. The connecting of reques...
