Abstract. We present an approach for the verication of spatial properties with Spin. We rst extend one of Spin's main property specication mechanisms, i.e., the linear-time...
This paper aims at proposing a general formal framework for dialogue between autonomous agents which are looking for a common agreement about a collective choice. The proposed set...
Abstract. In requirements engineering use cases are employed to describe the ow of events and the occurrence of states in a future information system. Use cases consist of a set of...
Abstract. Finite-state machines are the most pervasive models of computation, not only in theoretical computer science, but also in all of its applications to real-life problems, a...
We introduce the formal notion of an interaction interface. Its purpose is to specify formally the interaction between two or more components that co-operate as subsystems of a di...
