We introduce a mathematical model of components that can be used for the description of both hardware and software units forming distributed interactive systems. As part of a distr...
The main problem in model checking that prevents it from being used for veri cation of large systems is the state explosion problem. This problem often arises from combining parall...
Abstract: This paper describes some tools to support formal methods, and conversely some formal methods for developing such tools. We focus on distributed cooperative proving over ...

We contrast using a notation extension with using a combination of notations. Specifically, we compare the use of an extended dialect of Z [10] with a combination of Z and predicat...
Abstract. We present a new combination CSP-OZ-DC of three well researched formal techniques for the specification of processes, data and time: CSP [17], Object-Z [36], and Duration...
