: UML currently still lacks a rigorously defined semantics for its models, which makes formally analyzing a model and verifying its properties extremely difficult. To remedy that, ...
A new class of models, formalisms and mechanisms has recently evolved for describing concurrent and distributed computations based on the concept of “coordination”. The purpos...
Since 1996, the core Use Case Map (UCM) notation has remained remarkably stable. As the structure and intent of workflow and scenario languages are very similar, UCMs have been ap...
We describe a simple scheme for mapping synchronous language models, in the form of Boolean Mealy Machines, into timed automata. The mapping captures certain idealized implementat...
In order to address the complexities of SoC design, rigorous development methods and automated tools are required. This paper presents an approach to formal verification using mod...
