Modelling and Refining Hybrid Systems in Event-B and Rodin
[chapter]
2016
From Action Systems to Distributed Systems
We outline an approach to modelling and reasoning about hybrid systems with the Event-B method supported by the Rodin toolset. ...
The approach uses continuous functions over real intervals to model the evolution of continuous values over time. ...
Introduction Event-B is an established formalism that has been applied to a range of systems especially control systems and distributed systems [1] . ...

Physical Design Refinement: The "Merge-Reduce" Approach
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Although such refinements are often very valuable for DBAs, a completely manual approach to refinement can lead to infeasible solutions (e.g., excessive use of space). ...
These operators help refine a configuration, treating indexes and materialized views in a unified way, as well as succinctly explain the refinement process to DBAs. ...
Physical Design Refinement: The "Merge-Reduce" Approach · 19 Note that we can adapt the knapsack problem to our scenario. ...

EVALUATING AND REFINING THE �ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE AS STRATEGY� APPROACH AND ARTEFACTS
2011
South African Journal of Industrial Engineering
Action research is applied to a research group to obtain qualitative feedback on the practicality of the artefacts. ...
In order to do this, a new approach is required to integrate EA into the strategy planning process of the organisation. ...
Action research is used to gain qualitative feedback on the perceived practicality of two key artefacts that are used to underpin this new approach. ...

Deliverable 5.5. Methodology and results of the retain and refine approach
2019
Zenodo
This deliverable report describes the approach as implemented in the MCRA software and gives examples. ...
Tiered approaches have been developed that include the uncertainty of Cumulative Assessment Group membership and uncertainties due to missing hazard and exposure data that arise for large groups. ...
Two variations of this approach are to use the empirical NOAEL distribution itself (just sample from the NOAEL data), or to fit a distribution (e.g. lognormal) to the empirical data and sample from the ...

Multiple periodic solutions for one-sided sublinear systems: A refinement of the Poincaré-Birkhoff approach
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
We consider the classical approach based on the Poincaré-Birkhoff fixed point theorem as well as some refinements on the side of the theory of bend-twist maps and topological horseshoes. ...
In this paper we prove the existence of multiple periodic solutions (harmonic and subharmonic) for a class of planar Hamiltonian systems which include the case of the second order scalar ODE x" + a(t)g ...
In principle, our approach could be extended to differential systems in which the weight function displays a finite number of positive humps separated by negative ones. ...

A Refinement based Verification Approach of BPMN Models using NuSMV
2018
Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Software Technologies
In this paper, we propose a verification technique based on refinement BPMN process which allows to model an application by refinement and to induce gradually required properties at each level from the ...
The step-wise refinement technique facilitates the understanding of complex systems by dealing with the major issues before getting involved in the details. ...
It will be proposed, in this paper, a stepwise refinement approach that facilitates the understanding and therefore the good development of such complex systems. ...

A Refinement Approach for the Reuse of Privacy Risk Analysis Results
[chapter]
2017

Conservation priorities for freshwater biodiversity: The Key Biodiversity Area approach refined and tested for continental Africa
2012
Biological Conservation
Despite containing around a third of all vertebrates, area-based approaches to conservation planning rarely include freshwater species as an explicit target for conservation. ...
To illustrate application of the methodology freshwater Key Biodiversity Areas are identified across continental Africa, and conservation planning software used to prioritise a network of catchments that ...
We would also like to thank representatives from Birdlife International, Conservation International, WWF, Wetland International and UNEP-WCMC who attended a workshop in Cambridge to develop the criteria ...

The local best response criterion: An epistemic approach to equilibrium refinement
2009
Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization
This criterion is conceptually simpler than the standard refinement criteria, because it does not depend on out-of-equilibrium, counterfactual, or passage to the limit arguments. ...
This paper develops a new refinement criterion, based on epistemic game theory, that captures the concept of a Nash equilibrium that is plausible when players are rational. ...
