We present a Hoare-style specification and verification approach for invariants in sequential OO programs. It allows invariants over nonhierarchical object structures, in which upd...

We present a novel specification language called JDC to be used at design phase of distributed components. The extensive seek for asynchrony in distributed components demands new ...

The main difficulty associated with a collaborative design process is understanding the product data exchanged during design. Efficient and effective coordination of design activi...
We develop a compact and efficient reachability labeling scheme for answering provenance queries on workflow runs that conform to a given specification. Even though a workflow run...

This paper proposes a method for automatically inserting check statements for access control into a given recursive program according to a given security specification. A history-b...
In this paper, we propose an incremental construction approach for distributed system specifications. These specifications are structured as a parallel composition of subsystem sp...
In this paper we suggest methods to aid the development of specifications using the B method. We propose an objectoriented approach to specification, developing the structure thro...
: We show how an alternative approach to document-oriented specification can ease the system design process. By identifying the modeling concepts needed for a complete system speci...
: This paper proposes a development process for interactive systems based both on verification and validation methods. Our approach is formal and use at first the B Method. We show...
In this paper we present methods to generate a Description Logic (DL) theory from a given First Order Logic (FOL) theory, such that each DL axiom is entailed by the given FOL theor...
