TLDR
For a finite commutative ring with unit the authors determine which linear transformations M: RN—+RN can be realized by finite automata.
Abstract
Let R be a nonempty set, let N consist of all non-negative rational integers, and denote by RN the set of all functions on N to R. If R is a ring, a map M: R"—>P^ is linear if M(rxfx+r2f2)=rx(Mfx) +r2(Mf2) for rx, r2 in R, fx, f2 in RN. For a finite commutative ring with unit we determine which linear transformations M: RN—+RN can be realized by finite automata. More precisely, let A, B he finite nonempty sets. A map M: AN—>BN is an automaton transformation if there exists a finite set Q, maps Mq: A X£>—><2, Mb: A XQ-*B, elements h in B, q in Q such that corresponding to each/ in AN there exists an h in QN satisfying

Matching implementations to specifications: the corner cases of ioco

TL;DR: This paper shows that given a specification, one can construct in a standard way a canonical conforming implementation that is very 'close' to the specification; and a refinement preorder on specification models can be defined such that a refined model allows less ioco-conforming implementations.

Minimal unambiguous εNFA

TL;DR: An algorithm for compactifying eNFA is presented that exploits the union principle and has the following property: if the algorithm returns an unambiguous automaton, then this automaton is the transition minimal eN FA.

Assume-Guarantee Tools for Component-Based Software Verification

TL;DR: A minimized assumption generation method and its associated tools for L*-based assume-guarantee verification of component-based software by model checking and experience so far indicates that the implemented tools are potential for verifying practical component- based software.
