On Formal Specification of Maple Programs [PDF]
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

Provably correct Java implementations of Spi Calculus security protocols specifications [PDF]
Spi Calculus is an untyped high level modeling language for security protocols, used for formal protocols specification and verification. In this paper, a type system for the Spi Calculus and a translation function are formally defined, in order to ...

A Specification-Based Semi-Formal Functional Verification Method by a Stage Transition Graph Model
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.

Testing refinements by refining tests [PDF]
One of the potential benefits of formal methods is that they offer the possibility of reducing the costs of testing. A specification acts as both the benchmark against which any implementation is tested, and also as the means by which tests are generated.
