Abstract--Formal methods are very useful in software industry and are becoming of paramount importance in practical engineering techniques. They involve the design and the modeling...
Petri nets are a formalism for modelling and validating critical systems. Generally, the approach to specification starts from an abstract view of the system under study. Once val...
A limiting factor in the industrial acceptance of formal specifications is their readability, particularly for large, complex engineering systems. We hypothesize that multiple vis...

The growing complexity of systems and their implementation into silicon encourages designers to look for model designs at higher levels of abstraction and then incrementally build ...
A software design is often modeled as a collection of unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams. There are different aspects of the software system that are covered by many differe...
