Formal Description Techniques IX

TL;DR: It is in the framework of the ATM Forum view that the Video on Demand scenarios are presented in details and the problem of the jitter on the MPEG TS packets, jitter which jeopardizes the clock synchronisation is discussed.

Compositional Verification in Action

TL;DR: This article highlights the seminal results of Graf & Steffen and proposes a survey of compositional verification techniques that exploit (or not) these results.

A Completeness Theorem fro Nondeterministic Kleene Algebras

TL;DR: The main result is that an algebra obtained from a suitable category of labelled trees plays the same role as the algebra of regular events.

The Expressive Power of Implicit Specifications

TL;DR: In this paper, the expressive power of implicit specifications of concurrent systems is investigated in the context of CCS contexts, and it is shown that when the environment is modeled as a CCS context and the implicit specifications are regular, their expressive power is the same and identical to that of Hennessy-Milner logic extended with (maximal) recursion.

Computing Probabilistic Bisimilarity Distances via Policy Iteration

TL;DR: A modification of a basic version of an algorithm to compute the probabilistic bisimilarity distances for a labelled Markov chain is shown to be the policy iteration algorithm applied to the corresponding simple stochastic game.

Finite automata and their decision problems

TL;DR: Finite automata are considered as instruments for classifying finite tapes as well as generalizations of the notion of an automaton are introduced and their relation to the classical automata is determined.

Derivatives of Regular Expressions

TL;DR: In this paper the notion of a derivative of a regular expression is introduced atld the properties of derivatives are discussed and this leads, in a very natural way, to the construction of a state diagram from a regularexpression containing any number of logical operators.

An algebraic definition of simulation between programs

TL;DR: A technique is given and illustrated for proving simulation and equivalence of programs; there is an analogy with Floyd''s technique for proving correctness of programs.

Testing and generating infinite sequences by a finite automaton

TL;DR: Two apparently divergent areas of inquiry should give rise to the same problem, namely, that of describing the infinite history of finite automata, and it is this problem to which the remainder of this paper will address itself.
