Before software can be designed we must know its requirements. Before requirements can
be expressed we must understand the domain. So it follows, from our dogma, that we must …

The OTS/CafeOBJ method is an instance of the proof score approach to systems analysis,
which has been mainly devoted by researchers in the OBJ community. We describe some …

We first present a summary of essentials of domain engineering, its motivation, and its
modelling of abstractions of domains through the modelling of the intrinsics, support …

Programming autonomic systems with massive number of heterogeneous components
poses a number of challenges to language designers and software engineers and requires …

In this paper we solve the following problems:∙ We give a formal model of a large class of
mereologies, with simple entities modelled as parts and their relations by connectors.∙ We …

In this discursive paper we discuss compositionality of (i) simple entities,(ii) operations,(iii)
events, and (iv) behaviours. These four concepts,(i)–(iv), together define a concept of …

The OTS/CafeOBJ method is a formal method to model systems, specify models and verify
that models satisfy properties. We propose a way to verify that a state machine S satisfies …

The present contribution advances an abstract notion of hybrid logic by supplementing the
definition of institution with an additional structure to extract frames. The foundation of logic …

The present article describes a method for proving Downward Löwenheim–Skolem
Theorem within an arbitrary institution satisfying certain logic properties. In order to …
