We present a new approach for reasoning about liveness properties of distributed systems, represented as automata. Our approach is based on simulation relations, and requires reas...
Event-pattern reactive programs are front-end programs for distributed reactive components that preprocess an incoming stream of event stimuli. Their purpose is to recognize tempor...
Development graphs are a tool for dealing with structured specifications in a formal program development in order to ease the management of change and reusing proofs. In this work...
