Transforming software requirements into a software design involves the iterative partition of a solution into software components. The process is human-intensive and does not guar...
This paper deals with verification of flow control in concurrent programs. We use Ada language model as reference. After translation of Ada programs into Petri nets (named Ada net...
Effective discrimination between transient and permanent faults is a very important practical problem in (dependable) system design. A count-andthreshold mechanism named -count, d...

Finite failure NHPP models proposed in the literature exhibit either constant, monotonic increasing or monotonic decreasing failure occurrence rates per fault, and are inadequate ...
It is widely accepted that the OO paradigm will signi cantly increase software reusability, extendibility, interoperability, and reliability. This is also true for high assurance ...

Most control systems of flexible production cells have a hierarchical structure. They become very complicated and difficult to maintain and modify when the underlying production c...

We discuss a procedure for synthesizing controllers for safety specifications for hybrid systems. The procedure depends on the construction of the set of states of a continuous dy...
Continuous system dynamics can be described by, possibly large, systems of di erential equations. These can be either ordinary di erential equations (ODEs) or contain algebraic con...
Abstract. One of the most important analysis problems of hybrid systems is the reachability problem. State of the art computational tools perform reachability computation for timed...
