We describe a meta-method for formal method integration Pai97 . The approach is applied to combining formal methods with other formal and semiformal methods. We discuss the theory ...
: The widely accepted possible benefits of formal methods on the one hand and their minor use compared to informal or graphical description techniques on the other hand have repeat...
Abstract Set boolean operations between 2-dlmensional geometric objects are crucial in computational geometry and deserve rigorous treatments. We build up a simple and convergent s...
In this paper an extension of the IFAD VDM-SL Toolbox with a proof obligation generator is described. Static type checking in VDM is undecidable in general and therefore the type c...
At rst sight, real-time and asynchronous message passing like in SDL and ROOM seem to be incompatible. Indeed these languages fail to model real-time constraints accurately. In thi...
