Commitments model important aspects of agent interactions, especially those arising in e-business. A small number of patterns of commitments accommodate a variety of realistic int...
Model checking based on validating temporal logic formulas has proven practical and effective for numerous software engineering applications. As systems based on this approach ha...
Classical logic cannot be used to effectively reason about systems with uncertainty (lack of essential information) or inconsistency (contradictory information often occurring when...

We present a unified game-based approach for branching-time model checking of hierarchical systems. Such systems are exponentially more succinct than standard state-transition gra...
This paper compares six model checkers (Alloy, cadp, fdr2, NuSMV, ProB, Spin) for the validation of information system specifications. The same case study (a library system) is s...
