Consistency of Partial Process Specifications
[chapter]
1998
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper, we analyse the notion of consistency in the context of formal process speci cation. It turns out that di erent notions of correctness give rise to di erent consistency relations. ...
Each notion of consistency is formally characterised and placed in a spectrum of consistency relations. An example illustrates the use of these relations for consistency checking. ...

Extending Causal Consistency to any Object Defined by a Sequential Specification
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
This paper presents a simple generalization of causal consistency suited to any object defined by a sequential specification. ...
As causality is captured by a partial order on the set of operations issued by the processes on shared objects (concurrent operations are not ordered), it follows that causal consistency allows different ...

Formal methods for verification and validation of partial specifications: A case study
1998
Journal of Systems and Software
We conclude that the insights gained from formalizing a specification are valuable, and it is the process of formalization, rather than the end product that is important. ...
We describe a case study of the use of partial formal models for V&V of the requirements for Fault Detection Isolation and Recovery on the space station. ...
Maintenance of consistency in our partial specifications became a real problem. ...

Partial process models to manage business process variants
2011
International Journal of Business Process Integration and Management
Our approach, Partial Process Models (PPM), is a query-based approach which maintains the link between the variant process models by means of defining process model views. ...
Thus, dynamic evaluation for the defined queries of the process views guarantee that the process modeler is able to get up-todate and consistent status of the process model. ...

A framework for expressing the relationships between multiple views in requirements specification
1994
IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
In this paper, we deploy multiple View-Points that hold partial requirements specifications, described and developed using different representation schemes and development strategies. ...
We elaborate on some of the requirements for expressing and enacting inter-Viewpoint relationships-the vehicles for consistency checking and inconsistency management. ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENT We would like to gratefully acknowledge the extensive constructive comments of A. van Lamsweerde on an earlier version of this paper. Thanks are also due to S. ...

Coordinating distributed ViewPoints: the Anatomy of a Consistency Check
1994
Concurrent Engineering - Research and Applications
In this paper, we argue that striving to maintain complete consistency at all points in the development process is unnecessary, and an approach based on tolerance and management of inconsistency can be ...
Central to this problem is the issue of managing consistency between the various elements of an emerging design. ...

Partition Consistency: A Case Study in Modeling Systems with Weak Memory Consistency and Proving Correctness of their Implementations
[article]
2013
arXiv
pre-print
This paper provides a case study of this process. We specify a new model, partition consistency, that generalizes many existing consistency models. ...
Therefore, formal specification of the implementation or architecture is necessary, and proofs of correspondence between the abstract and the concrete models are required. ...

Internal Consistency and the Partialing Process
Although Landy et al. (1980) formally proposed the partialing procedures, it was previously used by Holzbach (1978) toward the same end. ...
Finally, because of the relatively similar effect of the partialing process on within- and between- dimension correlations, a ‘‘good’’ residuals factor structure with acceptable internal consistencies ...

Integration between Scheduling and Design of Batch Systems Based on Petri Net Models
2005
IEICE Transactions on Fundamentals of Electronics Communications and Computer Sciences
It next formulates batch scheduling problems based on Petri net partial languages, proposes their solution technique and last discusses the integration between scheduling and design of batch systems. ...
The distinctive feature of a batch process is that various decision making processes, such as scheduling, design, operation, etc. are strongly connected with each other. ...
