Deriving semantics from WS-BPEL specifications of parallel business processes on an example [PDF]
WS-BPEL is a widely accepted standard for specification of business distributed and parallel processes. This standard is a mismatch of algebraic and Petri net paradigms.

Algebraic Specification for Input-Output in Abstract Data Types [PDF]
Abstract Data Types (ADT) are used when creating software systems, in the systems design. Usually we use algebraic specification to specify the operations in a data type. The use of data types is a methodology or style of working which yields improved design when followed.

Introduction to the ISO specification language LOTOS [PDF]
LOTOS is a specification language that has been specifically developed for the formal description of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) architecture, although it is applicable to distributed, concurrent systems in general.

JWalk: a tool for lazy, systematic testing of java classes by design introspection and user interaction [PDF]
Popular software testing tools, such as JUnit, allow frequent retesting of modified code; yet the manually created test scripts are often seriously incomplete.

Complexity Theory and the Operational Structure of Algebraic Programming Systems [PDF]
An algebraic programming system is a language built from a fixed algebraic data abstraction and a selection of deterministic, and non-deterministic, assignment and control constructs. First, we give a detailed analysis of the operational structure of an

Observation and abstract behaviour in specification and implementation of state-based systems [PDF]
Classical algebraic specification is an accepted framework for specification. A criticism which applies is the fact that it is functional, not based on a notion of state as most software development and implementation languages are.

AbstractThis paper presents an educational tool for testing abstract data types implemented in C++ against formal algebraic specifications written in Maude, a formal specification language based on rewriting logic that allows the specification of abstract data types in a clear and concise manner.

A Mathematical Framework for Agent Based Models of Complex Biological Networks [PDF]
Agent-based modeling and simulation is a useful method to study biological phenomena in a wide range of fields, from molecular biology to ecology. Since there is currently no agreed-upon standard way to specify such models it is not always easy to use ...

Functionally Specified Distributed Transactions in Co-operative Scenarios [PDF]
Addresses the problem of specifying co-operative, distributed transactions in a manner that can be subject to verification and testing. Our approach combines the process-algebraic language LOTOS and the object-oriented database modelling language TM to ...
