We combine two ideas for specification and verification of concurrent systems: The rely-
guarantee paradigm and transition-based specification. We consider specification of safety …

Modern software-intensive systems often consist of multiple components that interact to fulfill
complex functions in sometimes safety-critical situations. During the design, it is crucial to …

During the last 15 years a large number of specification techniques based on the so-called
assumption/commitment paradigm have been proposed. The formulation of verification rules …

The synthesis problem asks whether there exists an implementation for a given formal
specification and derives such an implementation if it exists. This approach enables …

Scalable formal analysis of reactive programs demands integration of modular reasoning
techniques with existing analysis tools. Modular reasoning principles such as abstraction …

Contract-based design has been recently proposed as a framework for concurrent system
design in the context of complex supplier chains, where sub-system design can be sub …

Software-Defined Network (SDN) technology provides the possibility to turn the network
infrastructure into a dynamic programmable fabric capable of meeting the application needs …

Specification and refinement of networks of asynchronously communicating agents using the
assumption/commitment paradigm Page 1 Formal Aspects of Computing (1996) 8:127-161 9 …

We introduce a simple method for specifying individual components of a concurrent system.
The specification of the system is the conjunction of its components' specifications. We show …
