Abstract. Dynamic fault trees (DFTs) are a versatile and common formalism to model and analyze the reliability of computer-based systems. This paper presents a formal semantics of ...
Latest results of statistical learning theory have provided techniques such us pattern analysis and relational learning, which help in modeling system behavior, e.g. the semantics ...
Abstract. Inheritance is one of the key issues of object-orientation. The inheritance mechanism allows for the definition of a subclass which inherits the features of a specific ...
Previous work has proven typestates to be useful for modeling protocols in object-oriented languages. We build on this work by addressing substitutability of subtypes as well as i...
Research on how to reason about correctness properties of software systems using model checking is advancing rapidly. Work on exnite-state models from program source code and on ab...
