I discuss formal description techniques (FDTs) as they are applied in practice in software and system engineering. Their quality can be measured by their formality, descriptiveness and technical usefulness. I discuss shortcomings in the scientific and semantic foundations of FDTs. I formulate requirements for FDTs. I demonstrate how a family of complementary description techniques can be developed on the basis of a mathematical system model that provides a scientific methodological foundation for the modular specification and development of sys...

Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a data analysis technique based on ordered lattice theory. It provides graph-based visualisations of tabular data and has successfully been applied to a number of elds including Text Data Mining, Psychology, Social Science and Software Engineering. This research proposal sets out a framework for the application of FCA to Formal Methods. Formal Methods can be broadly dened as tools and notations that support the unambiguous specication of computer systems and software. While there can be signicant advantages obta...

Abstract The following topics were dealt with: a theorem prover for transformational synthesis; Ada's rendezvous representation by Petri nets; temporal logic applied to digital systems design; Circal process algebra in digital system design; and multiple objective optimisation in behavioural synthesis

Abstract The theory of reusable formal specifications is described, especially in the context of modeling a distributed real-time telecommunication system. Various aspects of reusability are covered: formal representation of reusability, modular specification of the system, equivalence of formal specifications, and classification of specifications. Some modular reusable protocol specifications are also given

Abstract. Computer ethics is usually motivated by and deals with problematic decision-making cases arising from the ubiquity and unprecedented power of computer and information technologies. In this paper, we address a distinct topic that is germane to computer ethics but has thus far been neglected in the computer ethics literature. Formal methods is the science of mathematically proving computer systems correct. Formal methods are motivated by the need for safety-critical systems (e.g., autopilot systems) that must be bug-free. We begin by de...

This paper briefly examines one aspect of synthesis: the integration of formal methods. In particular, we focus on examples of using formal methods that have been integrated by the heterogeneous notation technique of [Pai97a]. We commence with a brief introduction to the technique of method integration and the approach we use to carry it out. Then we present some detailed examples.

The intention of authors of this article was not to interprete or even to criticise the official documents of the Europen Commission. We just want to put a flash onto unsolved problems in higher education which seem to hamper the ongoing process of harmonisation of higher education internal structure within the European Union leading to the European Higher Education Area. Bologna process as a backbone of this organism of knowledge might consider tertiary professional higher education in specialised medicine as part of its internal structure. It...
