We survey the specification formalism of modal transition systems (MTS). We discuss
various extensions of MTS, their relationships and modelling capabilities. The extensions …

Interface theories are employed in the component-based design of concurrent systems.
They often emerge as combinations of Interface Automata (IA) and Modal Transition …

This thesis is concerned with quantitative verification, that is, the verification of quantitative
properties of quantitative systems. These systems are found in numerous applications, and …

Featured transition systems (FTSs) and modal transition systems (MTSs) are two of the most
prominent and well-studied formalisms for modeling and analyzing behavioral variability as …

Interface theories allow system designers to reason about the composability and
compatibility of concurrent system components. Such theories often extend both de Alfaro …

Modal transition systems (MTS) is a well-studied specification formalism of reactive systems
supporting a step-wise refinement methodology. Despite its many advantages, the formalism …

In this paper, the synthesis of bounded Petri nets from deterministic modal transition systems
is shown to be undecidable. The proof is built from three components. First, it is shown that …

We provide a framework for compositional and iterative design and verification of systems
with quantitative information, such as rewards, time or energy. It is based on disjunctive …

We present a goal-oriented algorithm that can synthesise k-bounded Petri nets (k in N^+)
from hyper modal transition systems (hMTS), an extension of labelled transition systems with …

There are two fundamentally different approaches for specifying and verifying properties of
systems. The logical approach makes use of specifications given as formulae of temporal or …
