The STRESS Method for Boundary-point Performance Analysis - Of End-To-End Multicast   (Correct)

....SRM with deterministic timers (b) SRM with adaptive timers Figure 6: Simulation results for deterministic and adaptive timers over stress and random topologies. Theorem proving systems define a set of axioms and relations to prove properties, and include model based and logicbased formalisms [26, 27]. These systems are useful in many applications. However, these systems tend to abstract out some network dynamics that we study (e.g. selective packet loss) Moreover, they do not synthesize network topologies and do not address performance issues per se. Reachability analysis algorithms [28] ....

A Formulation of the Simple Theory of Types (for Isabelle) - Paulson (1989)   (Correct)

....How well does Isabelle perform against specialized systems like these Zermelo Fraenkel set theory [36] is intended as a foundation of mathematics, but is inconvenient for formal proof even set theorists use intuition and diagrams. Yet set theory is the basis of the Z specification language [35]. Philippe Noel has conducted extensive set theory proofs in Isabelle [25] Type theory is also intended as a foundation for mathematics, and seems nearly as powerful. How does it compare with set theory as a practical formal language Isabelle s meta logic is a fragment of Church s version of ....

Role of Verification in the Software Specification Process - Zelkowitz (1998)   (1 citation)  (Correct)

....that a program meets its specifications. However, the real utility for any of these methods is their application to solving real world software development problems. All of these methods are difficult to apply to realistically sized programming tasks. In order to address this, notations like Z (Spivey, 1988), Larch (Guttag, 1985) OBJ (Goguen, 1985) and VDM were developed as general purpose specification languages in addition to special purpose lan guages for specific applications such as: Anna for Ada programs (Luckham, 1985) or AS for Pascal programs (Zelkowitz, 1991) In this paper we will ....

Towards Verified Systems: The SAFEMOS Project - Bowen, He, Hale, Herbert (1993)   (1 citation)  (Correct)

....LCF, but is now an independent programming language in its own right [40] It is an eager evaluation functional language with a polymorphic type discipline. Some use of the formal notation Z has been made on the project. Z is based on Zermelo Fraenkel set theory and first order predicate calculus [50], with the addition of the schema box notation to aid the structuring of the large amount of detailed mathematics that is necessary to specify systems of a realistic size. An advantage of a formal notation likeZis that it has been accepted for international standardisation by ISO whichis ....

Suggested references include [42] and [50, Chapter 2] for UML, and [20, Chapter 6] for a specification language (in this case, Z [152]) In Chapter 2, I will discuss the general problem of systems and component specification in more detail. Next, in Chapter 3, I will describe some of our extensions to an existing system level specification methodology. Then, in Chapter 4, I will describe the requirements, design, and ....
