Formal Specification and Validation of a Hybrid Connectivity Restoration Algorithm for Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks [PDF]
Sensors, 2012 Maintaining inter-actor connectivity is extremely crucial in mission-critical applications of Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs), as actors have to quickly plan optimal coordinated responses to detected events.

An Entry Point for Formal Methods: Specification and Analysis of Event Logs [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2010 Formal specification languages have long languished, due to the grave scalability problems faced by complete verification methods. Runtime verification promises to use formal specifications to automate part of the more scalable art of testing, but has ...

Formal Specification with JML [PDF]
, 2014 This text is a general, self contained, and tool independent introduction into the Java Modeling Language, JML. It is a preview of a chapter planned to appear in a book about the KeY approach and tool to the verification of Java software. JML is the dominating starting point of KeY style Java verification. However, this paper does not in any way depend

On Formal Specification of Maple Programs [PDF]
, 2012 This paper is an example-based demonstration of our initial results on the formal specification of programs written in the computer algebra language MiniMaple (a substantial subset of Maple with slight extensions). The main goal of this work is to define a verification framework for MiniMaple.

Formal Specifications from Natural Language [PDF]
arXiv.org, 2022 We study the generalization abilities of language models when translating natural language into formal specifications with complex semantics. In particular, we fine-tune language models on three datasets consisting of English sentences and their ...

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.

Formal Specification and Verification of Autonomous Robotic Systems [PDF]
ACM Computing Surveys, 2018 Autonomous robotic systems are complex, hybrid, and often safety critical; this makes their formal specification and verification uniquely challenging. Though commonly used, testing and simulation alone are insufficient to ensure the correctness of, or ...
