The soundness of device drivers generally cannot be verified in isolation, but has to take into account the reactions of the hardware devices. In critical embedded systems, interf...
Recent years have seen a proliferation of 3-valued or capturing abstractions of systems, since these enable verifying both universal and existential properties. Reasoning about suc...
We introduce a Janus-faced reference net component that presents the basis for the recursive composition of complex systems from open system units. We particularly focus on the ope...
Feature-oriented programming organizes programs around features rather than objects, thus better supporting extensible, product-line architectures. Programming languages increasin...
This paper presents the design of user-level scheduling hierarchies in the Composite component-based system. The motivation for this is centered around the design of a system that...
