Interactive, distributed, and embedded systems often behave stochastically, for example,
when inputs, message delays, or failures conform to a probability distribution. However …

The purpose of this paper is to show how the rewriting-logic-based Real-Time Maude
language and tool can be used to formally model, simulate, and model check advanced …

We propose a framework to build formal developments for robot networks using the Coq
proof assistant, to state and prove formally various properties. We focus in this paper on …

We give a survey of formal verification techniques that can be used to corroborate existing
experimental results for gossiping protocols in a rigorous manner. We present properties of …

We study the existence of efficient approximation methods to verify quantitative
specifications of probabilistic systems. Models of such systems are labelled discrete time …

Wireless embedded sensor networks are predicted to provide attractive application
possibilities in industry as well as at home. IEEE 802.15. 4 and ZigBee are proposed as …

Wireless sensor networks are composed of small electronic devices that embed processors,
sensors, batteries, memory and communication capabilities. One of the main goals in the …

Exhaustive and mechanized formal verification of wireless networks is hampered by the
huge number of possible topologies and the large size of the actual networks. However, the …

The analysis of uncertain dynamic discrete-event systems is generally intractable by
deterministic numeric methods. In this paper, we propose an adaptive Monte Carlo test …

The average performance of uncertain dynamic discrete-event systems remains a persistent
concern in the field of control engineering. In this paper, we propose to use a Monte Carlo …
