A data warehouse is a redundant collection of data replicated from several possibly distributed and loosely coupled source databases, organized to answer OLAP queries. Relational ...
We propose a framework for the formal speci cation and veri cation of timed and hybrid systems. For timed systems we propose a speci cation language that refers to time only throug...
Abstract. A syntax-directed formal system for the development of totally correct programs with respect to an (unfair) shared-state parallel programming language is proposed. The pr...
We want to prove \automatically" that a program is correct with respect to a set of given properties that is a speci cation. Proofs of speci cations contain logical parts and ...
