Based on the FOCUS theory of distributed systems (see [Broy, Stølen 01]) that are composed of interacting components we introduce a formal model of services and layered architectu...
Future space missions such as the Mars Science Laboratory and Project Constellation suggest the engineering of some of the most complex man-rated software systems. The present pro...
A new class of models, formalisms and mechanisms has recently evolved for describing concurrent and distributed computations based on the concept of “coordination”. The purpos...
This article presents a control flow analysis methodology based on UML 2.0 sequence diagrams (SD). In contrast to the conventional code-based control flow analysis techniques, thi...
We describe the main features of SmArT, a software package providing a seamless environment for the logic and probabilistic analysis of complex systems. SmArT can combine differen...
