The fundamental goal of all good design and engineering is to create maximal value added for any given investment. There are many dimensions in which value can be assessed, from m...
Graph transformation systems have been introduced for the formal specification of software systems. States are thereby modeled as graphs, and computations as graph derivations acco...
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...
