Abstract. This paper develops an ecient algorithm for determining when one system is capable of simulating the behavior of another. The method combines an iterative algorithm for computing behavioral ...
Abstract. This paper shows that different ?meta-model-checking ? analyses can be conducted efficiently on a generic data structure we call a support set. Support sets may be viewed as abstract encodin...
Abstract. This paper presents a framework for the abstract interpretation of processes that pass values. We define a process description language that is parameterized with respect to the set of value...
Abstract. This paper describes an approach to engineering efficient model checkers that are generic with respect to the temporal logic in which system properties are given. The methodology is based on...
Statecharts is a visual language for specifying the behavior of reactive systems. The language extends finite-state machines with concepts of hierarchy, concurrency, and priority. Despite its populari...
