We present a case study where we use automated formal analysis to reason about problem-frame concerns. The descriptions of the problem domains, machine and requirements are written in the Alloy language. We show that an evaluation of results and counterexamples provided by a model finder can reveal useful information that can help remove inconsistencies as well as composition errors.

Motivation „ Formal techniques not yet widely adopted by programmers. „ Commercial pressure to produce higher quality software is increasing.

BACKGROUND Several methods that are currently used for contouring analysis have problems providing reliable and/or meaningful results. In this paper a solution to these problems is proposed in a form of a novel measure, which was developed based on requirements defined for contouring studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS The proposed distance deviation measure can be understood as an extension of th...

We introduce a strategy for the verification of relational specifications based on the analysis of monotonicity of variables within formulas. By comparing with the Alloy Analyzer, we show that for a relevant class of problems this technique outperforms analysis of the same problems using SAT-solvers, while consuming a fraction of the memory SAT-solvers require.

Alloy is a formal modeling language based on first-order relational logic, with no native support for specifying reactive systems. We propose an extension of Alloy to allow the specification of temporal formulas using LTL, and show how they can be verified by bounded model checking with the Alloy Analyzer.

To the Editor: A recent article in PNAS by Asikainen and Werle (1) reports on the occurrence and morphology of ferromanganese nodules found in a New Hampshire lake. The authors offer data on the shapes, banding, composition, and distribution of the nodules and crusts. They also state that my paper (2) claims that the morphology of such nodules is controlled by elemental concentrations and that ...
