The central idea of the Heterogeneous Tool Set (HETS) is to provide an open source
general framework for formal methods integration and proof management. One can think of …

A practically useful mathematical assistant system requires the sophisticated combination of
interaction and automation. Central in such a system is the proof data structure, which has to …

Computer supported development of proofs requires user interaction even for theorems that
are simple by human standards. In this thesis we define a communication infrastructure as a …

The multi-agent-systems paradigm is becoming more and more popular as a basis for
realizing net-based solutions. This development is accompanied by an increasing relevance …

In the early stages of the software development process, formal methods are used to
engineer specifications in an explorative way. Changes to specifications and verification …

Maude modules can be understood as models that can be formally analyzed and verified
with respect to different properties expressing various formal requirements. However, Maude …

Ensuring the compliance of developed software with general and application-specific
security requirements is a challenging task due to the lack of automatic and formal means to …

Incompletely defined programs provide an elegant and easy way to write and to reason
about programs which may halt with a run time error by throwing an exception or printing an …

LATIN aims at developing methods, techniques, and tools for interfacing logics and proof
systems. Logics allow for making the mathematical knowledge at the core of science …
