In this paper we propose some extensions necessary to enable the speci cation and description language SDL to become an appropriate formalism for the design of real-time and embedd...

nt formal speci cations of a new abstraction, weak sets, which can be used to alleviate high latencies when retrieving data from a wide-area information system like the World Wide...
Software testing can only be formalized and quanti ed when a solid basis for test generation can be de ned. Tests are commonly generated from program source code, graphical models ...
Salsa is an invariant checker for speci cations in SAL the SCR Abstract Language. To establish a formula as an invariant without any user guidance Salsa carries out an induction pr...
Formal methods can improve the development of systems with high quality requirements, since they usually o er a precise, nonambiguous speci cation language and allow rigorous veri ...
Abstract. This paper presents a scalable approach to reasoning formally about distributed algorithms. It uses results about I O automata to extract a set of proof obligations for s...
Animation of execution is a necessary feature of source-level debuggers. We present a framework where animators are generated from existing algebraic speci cations of interpreters....
Program transformation systems provide one means of formally deriving a program from its speci cation. The main advantage of this development method is that the executable program...
Abstract. We have argued previously that the e ectiveness of a veri cation system derives not only from the power of its individual features for expression and deduction, but from ...
