Specification of Synchronous Network Flooding in Temporal Logic

System Specification and Refinement in Temporal Logic

We consider two types of speciications of reactive systems: requirement speciication which lists properties the system should satisfy, and System speciica-tion which describes the response of the system to each incoming input. Some of the diierences between these two styles of speciication are analyzed with the conclusion that both types are needed in an orderly system development. Traditionall...

analysis of power in the network society

اندیشمندان و صاحب نظران علوم اجتماعی بر این باورند که مرحله تازه ای در تاریخ جوامع بشری اغاز شده است. ویژگیهای این جامعه نو را می توان پدیده هایی از جمله اقتصاد اطلاعاتی جهانی ، هندسه متغیر شبکه ای، فرهنگ مجاز واقعی ، توسعه حیرت انگیز فناوری های دیجیتال، خدمات پیوسته و نیز فشردگی زمان و مکان برشمرد. از سوی دیگر قدرت به عنوان موضوع اصلی علم سیاست جایگاه مهمی در روابط انسانی دارد، قدرت و بازتولید...

Process Semantics of Temporal Logic Specification

A process semantics for temporal logic specification is provided by relating a category of temporal theories and interpretations between theories where specification configuration and interconnection is achieved via colimits of diagrams, and a category of algebraic models of processes where parallel composition is explained in terms of limits of diagrams. This semantics is proved to be exact in...

The ForSpec Temporal Logic: A New Temporal Property-Specification Language

In this paper we describe the ForSpec Temporal Logic (FTL), the new temporal property-specification logic of ForSpec, Intel’s new formal specification language. The key features of FTL are as follows: it is a linear temporal logic, based on Pnueli’s LTL, it is based on a rich set of logical and arithmetical operations on bit vectors to describe state properties, it enables the user to define te...
