Constraint automata have been introduced to provide a compositional, operational semantics for the exogenous coordination language Reo, but they can also serve interface specifica...
Abstract. In order to design and analyse complex systems, modelers need formal models with two contradictory requirements: a high expressivity and the decidability of behavioural p...
ASTRAL is a high-level formal specification language for real-time (infinite state) systems. It is provided with structuring mechanisms that allow one to build modularized specifi...
We propose an efficient automatic checking algorithm, Athena, for analyzing security protocols. Athena incorporates a logic that can express security properties including authenti...
We describe the design of VIP, a graphical front-end to the model checker SPIN. VIP supports a visual formalism, called v-Promela that connects the model checker to modern hierarc...
