We review the use of nondeterminism and identify two different purposes. The descriptive purpose handles uncertainties in the behaviour of existing entities. The constraining purp...
Successive, formal refinement is a new approach for specification of embedded systems using a general-purpose programming language. Systems are formally modeled as Abstractable Sy...

Software programmers want to manage pure software, not hardware-software entanglements. Unfortunately, traditional development methodologies cannot clearly separate hardware and so...

In our research we are developing methodologiesand tools to permit stochastic analyses of CSP-based system specifications. In this regard, we have been developing morphismsbetween...

This paper presents a process algebra for specifying soft real-time constraints in a compositional way. For these soft constraints we take a stochastic point of view and allow arb...
