Coordination languages simplify design and development of concurrent systems. Particularly, exogenous coordination languages, like BIP and Reo, enable system designers to express the interactions among components in a system explicitly. In this paper we es ...
Based on a concise but comprehensive overview of some fundamental properties required from component-based frameworks, namely compositionality, incrementality, flattening, modularity and expressiveness, we review three modifications of the semantics of glu ...
The aim of the paper is to present a theory agenda for component-based design based on results that motivated the development of the BIP component framework, to identify open problems and discuss further research directions. The focus is on proposing a sem ...
This paper presents a novel safety property verification approach for component-based systems
modelled in BIP (Behaviour, Interaction and Priority), encompassing multiparty synchronisation
with data transfer and priority. Our contributions consist of: (1 ...
This paper presents SeBip, the first symbolic executor for component-based systems modelled in BIP (Be- haviour, Interaction and Priority). To tackle the path explosion problem, SeBip combines partial order reduction technique to reduce the number of inter ...
This paper presents a novel idea of automatic fault localization by exploiting counterexamples generated by a model checker. The key insight is that, if a candidate statement is faulty, it is possible to modify (i.e. correct) this statement so that the cou ...
We propose two expressive and complementary techniques for the verification of safety properties of infinite-state BIP models. Both our techniques deal with the full BIP specification, while the existing approaches impose con- siderable restrictions: they ...
We study a framework for the specification of architecture styles as families of architectures involving a common set of types of components and coordination mechanisms. The framework combines two logics: 1) interaction logics for the specification of arch ...
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are embedded computers widely used in industrial control systems. Ensuring that a PLC software complies with its specification is a challenging task. Formal verification has become a recommended practice to ensure the ...
