Recently, contract-based design has been proposed as an “orthogonal” approach that
complements system design methodologies proposed so far to cope with the complexity of …

Twelve years ago, Proceedings of the IEEE devoted a special section to the synchronous
languages. This paper discusses the improvements, difficulties, and successes that have …

This book will attempt to give a first synthesis of recent works con cerning reactive system
design. The term" reactive system" has been introduced in order to at'oid the ambiguities …

This paper informally presents the theoretical and practical foundations of synchronous
programming of reactive systems, mostly focusing on the author's Esterel language …

Kind 2 is an open-source, multi-engine, SMT-based model checker for safety properties of
finite-and infinite-state synchronous reactive systems. It takes as input models written in an …

Abstract Linear Relation Analysis [11] is an abstract interpretation devoted to the automatic
discovery of invariant linear inequalities among numerical variables of a program. In this …

Reliability of an individual unit during field use is important in many critical applications such
as turbine engines, life-maintaining systems and civil engineering structures. The remaining …

In order to achieve better precision of abstract interpretation-based static analysis, we
introduce a new generic abstract domain, the trace partitioning abstract domain. We develop …

Reactive systems involve communication, concurrency and preemption. Few models
support these three concepts, even less can correctly deal with their coexistence. The …

We introduce a general uniform language-independent framework for designing online and
offline source-to-source program transformations by abstract interpretation of program …
