Complex software systems possess concurrent and reactive behaviors requiring precise specifications prior to development. Lamport's transition axiom method is a formal specif...

Abstract. Over the past years, a number of increasingly expressive languages for modelling constraint and optimisation problems have evolved. In developing a strategy to ease the c...
CSP (Communicating Sequential Processes) is a useful algebraic notation for creating a hierarchical behavioural specification for concurrent systems, due to its formal interproces...
Abstract--Property specification is still one of the most challenging tasks for transference of software verification technology like model checking. The use of patterns has been p...
In order to support the conceptualization and specification of simulation models of complex systems, several formalisms or world views exist. Petri nets, differential equations, d...
