Mobile and general-purpose robots increasingly support everyday life, requiring
dependable robotics control software. Creating such software mainly amounts to …

Robot applications are increasingly based on teams of robots that collaborate to perform a
desired mission. Such applications ask for decentralized techniques that allow for tractable …

Three-valued model checking has been proposed to support verification when some
portions of the model are unspecified. Given a formal property, the model checker returns …

Quantum computing is rapidly transitioning from a scientific curiosity to an industrial reality,
offering the potential to overcome classical computation limitations. This shift has given rise …

Change has been recognized as the distinguishing feature that makes software different
from any other human‐produced artifacts. Initial reflections on the urgent and unavoidable …

Runtime Verification is a lightweight automatic verification technique. We introduce
Assumption-Based Runtime Verification framework, which is capable for monitoring partially …

Abstract Context and Motivation: Goal-oriented methods can be used by analysts to produce
a set of system requirements that reflect the customer needs and are used as guidelines in …

Software systems are usually formed by multiple components which interact with one
another. In large systems, components themselves can be complex systems that need to be …

Recursive state machines (RSMs) are state-based models for procedural programs with
wide-ranging applications in program verification and interprocedural analysis. Model …

Controllers often are large and complex reactive software systems and thus they typically
cannot be developed as monolithic products. Instead, they are usually comprised of multiple …
