We present a specification and verification method for networks of processes that
communicate by asynchronous message-passing. Networks are specified by transition …

Hardware systems and reactive software systems can be described as the composition of
several concurrently active processes. Automated reasoning based on model checking …

We describe the formal specification and verification of the VGI parallel DSP chip (V. Srini et
al., 1998), which contains 64 compute processors with/spl sim/30 K gates in each processor …

We describe a method for writing assumption/guarantee specifications of concurrent
systems. We also provide a proof rule for reasoning about the composition of these systems …

The simulation preorder on state transition systems is widely accepted as a useful notion of
refinement, both in its own right and as an efficiently checkable sufficient condition for trace …

We unify the parallel composition rule of assumption-commitment specifications for
respectively state-based and message-based concurrent processes. Without providing …

We present a component-based software design flow for building parallel applications
running on top of manycore platforms. The flow is based on the BIP-Behaviour, Interaction …

This paper addresses the specification of and reasoning about interactive real-time systems,
their interfaces, and architectures as well as their properties in terms of assumptions and …

Compositional proofs about systems of many components require circular reasoning
principles in which properties of other components need to be assumed in proving the …

The assumption/commitment (also called rely/guarantee) style has been advocated for the
specification of interactive components of distributed systems. It suggests the structuring of …
