Formal methods are becoming more accepted in both academia and industry as one
possible way in which to help improve the quality of both software and hardware systems. It …

Real-time systems need to react to certain input stimuli within given time bounds. For
example, an airbag in a car has to unfold within 300 milliseconds in a crash. There are many …

We adapt the Multi-lane Spatial Logic MLSL, introduced in [1] for proving the safety (collision
freedom) of traffic manoeuvres on multi-lane motorways, where all cars drive in one …

It is a challenging task to design real-time computing systems controlling physical
processes. It requires insight in the science of the process, which may be mechanical …

Two main kinds of tools available for formal software verification are point tools and general-
purpose tools. Point tools are targeted towards bug-hunting or proving a fixed set of …

Abstract The UniForM Workbench supports combination of Formal Methods (on a solid
logical foundation), provides tools for the development of hybrid, real-time or reactive …

CSP-OZ-DC is a new combination of three well researched formal techniques for the
specification of processes, data and time: CSP [Hoare 1985], Object-Z [Smith 2000], and …

The safety aspects of computer-based systems as increasingly important as the use of
software escalates because of its convenience and exibility. However the complexity of even …

Hybrid systems are real-time systems that react to both discrete and continuous activities
(such as analog signals, time, temperature, and speed). Typical examples of hybrid systems …

We present a new combination CSP-OZ-DC of three well researched formal techniques for
the specification of processes, data and time: CSP [18], Object-Z [37], and Duration Calculus …
