The operations of linear algebra, calculus, and statistics are routinely applied to measurement scales but certain mathematical conditions must be satisfied in order for these operations to be applicable. We call attention to the conditions…
Model checkers use automated state exploration in order to prove various properties such as reachability, non-reachability, and bisimulation over state transition systems. While model checkers have proved valuable for locating errors in…
These notes present some extensions of a formal method introduced in an earlier paper. The formal method is designed as a tool for program verification of numerical computation and forms the basis of the software package VPC. Included in…
Methods of determination of constants of the Standard Model are considered. The constants values obtained now are presented and experiments for improving some values are pointed out. A few possible generalized models are considered together…
This book explores an alternative to the current dominant paradigm where a discrete computer model is constructed as an attempt to approximate some continuum theory. We focus on a class of discrete computer models that are based on simple…
Exhaustive formal verification for systems of systems (SoS) is impractical and cannot be applied on a large scale. In this paper we propose to use statistical model checking for efficient verification of SoS. We address three relevant…
Modern distributed systems include a class of applications in which non-functional requirements are important. In particular, these applications include multimedia facilities where real time constraints are crucial to their correct…
We describe a novel approach for adapting an existing software model checker to perform precise runtime verification. The software under test is allowed to communicate with the wider environment (including the file system and network). The…
In this paper, we deal with the formal verification of an encryption scheme for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Especially, we present our first results on building a framework dedicated to modelling and verification of WSNs aspects. To…
This is a survey on stated skein algebras and their representations.
Dependability is an umbrella concept that subsumes many key properties about a system, including reliability, maintainability, safety, availability, confidentiality, and integrity. Various dependability modeling techniques have been…
These notes outline a formal method for program verification of numerical computation. It forms the basis of the software package VPC in its initial phase of development. Much of the style of presentation is in the form of notes that…
N-PAT is a new model-checking tool that supports the verification of nested-models, i.e. models whose behaviour depends on the results of verification tasks. In this paper, we describe its operation and discuss mechanisms that are tailored…
Automatic fake news detection models are ostensibly based on logic, where the truth of a claim made in a headline can be determined by supporting or refuting evidence found in a resulting web query. These models are believed to be reasoning…
We propose modifications to the functional form of the SCAN density functional to eliminate numerical instabilities. This is necessary to allow reliable, automatic generation of pseudopotentials (including PAW potentials). The regularized…
In this article, we review the mathematical modeling for the vascular system.
We survey existing approaches to the formal verification of statecharts using model checking. Although the semantics and subset of statecharts used in each approach varies considerably, along with the model checkers and their specification…
In this extended abstract a view on the role of Formal Methods in System Engineering is briefly presented. Then two examples of useful analysis techniques based on solid mathematical theories are discussed as well as the software tools…
This paper proposes the use of model-checking software technology for the verification of workflows and business processes behaviour based on web services, namely the use of the SPIN model checker. Since the specification of a business…
We may attempt to encapsulate what we know about a physical system by a model structure, $S$. This collection of related models is defined by parametric relationships between system features; say observables (outputs), unobservable…
