Design rules express constraints on the behavior and structure of a program. These rules can help ensure that a program follows a set of established practices, and avoids certain ...
We present a Hoare-style specification and verification approach for invariants in sequential OO programs. It allows invariants over nonhierarchical object structures, in which upd...

This paper develops sound modelling and reasoning methods for imperative programs with pointers: heaps are modelled as mappings from addresses to values, and pointer structures are...

This paper studies the complexity of behavior of multi-agent systems. Behavior properties are formulated using classical temporal logic languages and are checked with respect to t...
