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

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

From English to Formal Specifications [PDF]
The Computer Journal, 1994 Formal methods provide an approach in which design steps can be shown to satisfy a specification. However, if a formal specification is wrong, then although the design steps may satisfy the formal specification, they are unlikely to satisfy the requirements of the system.

Declarative Specification [PDF]
, 1996 Deriving formal specifications from informal requirements is extremely difficult since one has to overcome the conceptual gap between an application domain and the domain of formal specification methods.

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.

USING FORMAL METHODS FOR TEST CASE GENERATION ACCORDING TO TRANSITION-BASED COVERAGE CRITERIA [PDF]
Jordanian Journal of Computers and Information Technology, 2015 Formal methods play an important role in increasing the quality, reliability, robustness and effectiveness of software. Also the uses of formal methods, especially in safety-critical systems, help in the early detection of software errors and failures ...
