General quantitative specification theories with modal transition systems
International audienceThis paper proposes a new theory of quantitative specifications. It generalizes the notions of step-wise refinement and compositional design operations from the Boolean to an arbitrary quantitative setting. Using a great number of examples, it is shown that this general approach permits to unify many interesting quantitative approaches to system design
A Linear-Time Branching-Time Spectrum for Behavioral Specification Theories
We propose behavioral specification theories for most equivalences in the
linear-time--branching-time spectrum. Almost all previous work on specification
theories focuses on bisimilarity, but there is a clear interest in
specification theories for other preorders and equivalences. We show that
specification theories for preorders cannot exist and develop a general scheme
which allows us to define behavioral specification theories, based on
disjunctive modal transition systems, for most equivalences in the
linear-time--branching-time spectrum
Configurable Formal Methods for Extreme Modeling
International audienceReliable model transformations are essential for agile modeling. We propose to employ a configurable-semantics approach to develop automatic model transformations which are correct by design and can be integrated smoothly into existing tools and work flows
