Abstract. Refinement plays a crucial role in "top-down" styles of verification, such as the refinement calculus, but for probabilistic systems proof of refinement is a pa...
Abstract. We describe how CSP-OZ, an integrated formal method combining the process algebra CSP with the specification language Object-Z, can be linked to standard software engine...
This paper presents an approach for building consensus ontologies from the individual ontologies of a network of socially interacting agents. Each agent has its own conceptualizat...
Many processor architectures provide a set of addressing modes in their address generation units. For example DSPs (digital signal processors) have powerful addressing modes for e...
A component is the basic re-usable unit of composition to build composite systems by connecting to others through their provided and required ports. Checking the functional complia...
