Attributive description formalisms ... and the rest of the world
[chapter]
1991
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Recently, a number of formal results in the area of attributive description formalisms have been obtained by exploiting other research fields, such as formal language theory, automata theory, and modal ...
Although the intended applications for terminological logics and feature logics are not identical, and the computational services of systems based on the respective formalisms are quite different for this ...

Using automata theory for characterizing the semantics of terminological cycles. ...
One reason is that it is not clear what kind of semantics to use for such cy- cles. In addition, the inference algorithms used in such systems may go astray in the presence of terminological cycles. ...
Use of Büchi automata and randomness for the description of biological processes
2015
International Journal of Scientific World
Abstract The main topic of this study is the modelling and verification of biological systems using ω-automata. ...
Overall, this work contributes by combining for the very first time PBAs with real biological mechanisms, with indicative examples, both with PBAs and NBAs (non-deterministic Büchi automata). ...
Nevertheless, for an overview in automata theory and theory of computation we refer the reader to [1, 2, 3] . ...

A hybrid systems framework for cellular processes
2005
Biosystems (Amsterdam. Print)
While the semantics can be quite different, biologists and systems scientists use in many cases a similar language (notion of feedback, regulation, etc.). ...
With the availability of technologies that allow us to obtain stimulus-response time series data for modeling and system identification, there is going to be an increasing need for conceptual frameworks ...
Acknowledgments The preparation and revision of the xanthophyll cycle reaction system example benefited from discussion with Prof. ...

Using Logic Coverage to Improve Testing Function Block Diagrams
[chapter]
2013
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Based on our experiments, this approach, supported by a tool chain, is an applicable and useful way of generating test cases for covering Function Block Diagrams. ...
We show how logic coverage criteria can be formalized and used by a model-checker to provide test cases for ensuring coverage on safety-critical software described in the Function Block Diagram programming ...

A compositional trace-based semantics for probabilistic automata
[chapter]
1995
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We extend the trace semantics for labeled transition systems to a randomized model of concurrent computation. The main objective is to obtain a compositional semantics. ...
Finally, we introduce a notion of a probabilistic forward simulation and we prove that it is sound for the trace distribution precongruence. ...
I would like to thank Nancy Lynch for useful discussion that lead to the de nition of probabilistic forward simulations. ...

Modular semantics for a UML statechart diagrams kernel and its extension to multicharts and branching time model-checking
2002
The Journal of Logic and Algebraic Programming
The reference verification environment used for this model-checking approach is JACK, where automata are represented in a standard format which facilitates the use of a collection of tools for automatic ...
In this paper, we present a formal operational semantics for a behavioural subset of UML statechart diagrams (UMLSDs) including a formal proof of their correctness with respect to major UML semantics requirements ...
The authors thank Istvan Majzik for the fruitful discussions on the UML and its semantics. ...

A Calculus for Team Automata

Moreover, besides providing a language for expressing team automata, we widen the family of coordination patterns for which an equational characterization of the language associated to a composite automaton ...
Team automata are a formalism for the component-based specification of reactive, distributed systems. ...

Reasoning in Fuzzy Description Logics using Automata
2016
Fuzzy sets and systems (Print)
Clearly, due to the different semantics in these logics, the construction of the automata for fuzzy DLs is more involved than for the classical case. ...
Very recently, the ideas behind these automata-based approaches were adapted for reasoning also in fuzzy extensions of DLs, with semantics based either on finitely many truth degrees or the Gödel t-norm ...
