Compositionality is of great practical importance when building systems from individual
components. Unfortunately, leads-to properties are not, in general, compositional, and …

An assume-guarantee verification method has been recognized as a promising approach to
verify component-based software with model checking. The method is not only fitted to …

Due to the increasing integration of information technology into our daily life, the correctness
of such systems plays a major role in their development and is crucial, not least in safety …

并发程序与并发系统可以拥有非常高的执行效率和相对串行系统较快的响应速度,
在现实中有着非常广泛的应用. 但是并发程序与并发系统往往难以保证其实现的正确性 …

This work proposes a symbolic algorithm for the construction of assume-guarantee
specifications that allow multiple agents to cooperate. Each agent is assigned goals …

The focus of this dissertation is the formal verification of real-time systems: systems with
discrete control structures operating over a continuous time domain. Validation of …

This paper presents assume-guarantee style substitutivity results for the recently published
timed I/O automaton modeling framework. These results are useful for decomposing …

We present circular assume-guarantee reasoning rules automated by an appropriate use of
passive learning algorithms for automata and LTL formulas. Both algorithms directly apply to …

A hard-masking real-time program is one that satisfies safety (including timing constraints)
and liveness properties in the absence and presence of faults. It has been shown that any …

Abstract Design by contract is a well known theory that views software construction as based
on contracts between clients (callers) and suppliers (routines), relying on mutual obligations …
