A Component-Based Formal Language Workbench [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2019 The CBS framework supports component-based specification of programming languages. It aims to significantly reduce the effort of formal language specification, and thereby encourage language developers to exploit formal semantics more widely.

Product Model Derivation from Feature Model and Formal Specification
Applied Sciences, 2022 Product derivation is the process of building a specific product from a software product line. Effective product derivation can improve software reuse productivity. Existing methods can only obtain abstract feature models, lacking detailed specifications

Industrial Experience Report on the Formal Specification of a Packet Filtering Language Using the K Framework [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2017 Many project-specific languages, including in particular filtering languages, are defined using non-formal specifications written in natural languages. This leads to ambiguities and errors in the specification of those languages. This paper reports on an

A Specification-Based Semi-Formal Functional Verification Method by a Stage Transition Graph Model
IEEE Access, 2019 The semi-formal verification method, in which the functionality is formally specified and the checking is undertaken through the formal model-based simulation, has been a promising choice for the functional verification of hardware designs.

Introduction to Formal Methods for Software Engineering
Measurement + Control, 1993 This paper describes what is meant by formal methods for software engineering. It is intended for the non-mathematical reader, and a simple formal specification is presented. The process of formal specification, development and proof is described briefly.
