Various forms of assumption/commitment specifications have been used to specify and reason about the interference that comes from concurrent execution; in particular, consistent a...
As the interest in using policy-based approaches for systems management grows, it is becoming increasingly important to develop methods for performing analysis and refinement of p...

Once you have proved your refinement correct, that is not the end. Real products, and their accompanying specifications, develop over time, with new improved versions having added...
We describe a method for writing assumption/guarantee specifications of concurrent systems. We also provide a proof rule for reasoning about the composition of these systems. Spec...
This paper discusses the adaptation of the PVS theorem prover for performing analysis of real-time systems written in the ASTRAL formal specification language. A number of issues w...
