Simplicitly: Foundations and Applications of Implicit Function Types

Martin Odersky, Heather Christine Klug, Fengyun Liu, Sandro Stucki, Olivier Eric Paul Blanvillain

Understanding a program entails understanding its context; dependencies, configurations and even implementations are all forms of contexts. Modern programming languages and theorem provers offer an array of constructs to define contexts, implicitly. Scala ...

Parameterized Systems in BIP: Design and Model Checking

Joseph Sifakis, Simon Bliudze, Qiang Wang

BIP is a component-based framework for system design that has important industrial applications. BIP is built on three pillars: behavior, interaction, and priority. In this paper, we introduce first-order interaction logic (FOIL) that extends BIP to system ...

Offer semantics: Achieving compositionality, flattening and full expressiveness for the glue operators in BIP

Simon Bliudze, Eduard Baranov

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 ...

Semantic Data Layers in Air Quality Monitoring for Smarter Cities

Karl Aberer, Jean Paul Calbimonte Perez, Julien Eberle

Air pollution is one of the key indicators for quality of life in urban environments, and is also the subject of global health concern, given the number of mortal diseases associated to exposure to pollutants. Assessing and monitoring air quality is an imp ...

Configuration Logics: Modelling Architecture Styles

Joseph Sifakis, Simon Bliudze, Anastasia Mavridou, Eduard Baranov

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 ...

RSP-QL Semantics: a Unifying Query Model to Explain Heterogeneity of RDF Stream Processing Systems

Jean Paul Calbimonte Perez

RDF and SPARQL are established standards for data interchange and querying on the Web. While they have been shown to be useful and applicable in many scenarios, they are not sufficiently adequate for dealing with streams of data and their intrinsic continu ...

Stochastic fragments: A framework for the exact reduction of the stochastic semantics of rule-based models

Tatjana Petrov

In this paper, we propose an abstract interpretation-based framework for reducing the state space of stochastic semantics for protein protein interaction networks. Our approach consists in quotienting the state space of networks. Yet interestingly, we do n ...

Extended Connectors: Structuring Glue Operators in BIP

Simon Bliudze, Eduard Baranov

Based on a variation of the BIP operational semantics using the offer predicate introduced in our previous work, we extend the algebras used to model glue operators in BIP to encompass priorities. This extension uses the Algebra of Causal Interaction Trees ...

Semantics of OCL specified with QVT

Slavisa Markovic

The Object Constraint Language (OCL) has been for many years formalized both in its syntax and semantics in the language standard. While the official definition of OCL's syntax is already widely accepted and strictly supported by most OCL tools, there is n ...

Constraint Solving for Software Reliability and Text Analysis

Viktor Kuncak

We will develop and implement new algorithms for constraint solving and apply them to construct two classes of tools: 1) bug finding and verification tools building on tools such as Java PathFinder and Jahob; 2) tools for deep semantic analysis of texts co ...

Formal Semantics for Property-Property Relations in SEAM Visual Language: Towards Simulation and Analysis of Visual Specifications

Alain Wegmann, Irina Rychkova

SEAM is an enterprise architecture method that defines a visual language for modeling. Our goal is to provide formal semantics for SEAM. Model simulation, model comparison, and refinement verification are practical benefits we expect from this formalizatio ...

Evolving Objects in Temporal Information Systems

Stefano Spaccapietra, Christine Parent

This paper presents a semantic foundation of temporal conceptual models used to design temporal information systems. We consider a modelling language able to express both timestamping and evolution constraints. We conduct a deeper investigation of evolutio ...

An OCL Semantics Specified with QVT

Slavisa Markovic

Metamodeling became in the last decade a widely accepted tool to describe the (abstract) syntax of modeling languages in a concise, but yet precise way. For the description of the language's semantics, the situation is less satisfactory and formal semantic ...

Action Semantics in Smart Objects

Daniel Thalmann, Tolga Abaci, Jan Ciger

We present a method of formal description of the action semantics in smart objects. Smart objects were primarily used for behavioral animation in the past. We demonstrate, how a formally described semantics can be used for action planning purposes by intel ...

The Object Constraint Language (OCL) has been for many years formalized both in its syntax and semantics in the language standard. While the official definition of OCL’s syntax is already widely accepted and strictly supported by most OCL tools, there is n ...
