An Inductive Approach for Modal Transition System Refinement

Authors: Dalal Alrajeh, Jeff Kramer, Alessandra Russo, and Sebastian Uchitel

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 11, Technical Communications of the 27th International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP'11) (2011)


Abstract
Modal Transition Systems (MTSs) provide an appropriate framework for modelling software behaviour when only a partial specification is available. A key characteristic of an MTS is that it explicitly models events that a system is required to provide and is proscribed from exhibiting, and those for which no specification is available, called maybe events. Incremental elaboration of maybe events into either required or proscribed events can be seen as a process of MTS refinement, resulting from extending a given partial specification with more information about the system behaviour. This paper focuses on providing automated support for computing strong refinements of an MTS with respect to event traces that describe required and proscribed behaviours using a non-monotonic inductive logic programming technique. A real case study is used to illustrate the practical application of the approach.

Partial Behavioural Models for Requirements and Early Design

Authors: Marsha Chechik, Greg Brunet, Dario Fischbein, and Sebastian Uchitel

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6351, Methods for Modelling Software Systems (MMOSS) (2007)


Abstract
The talk will discuss the problem of creation, management, and specifically merging of partial behavioural models, expressed as model transition systems. We argue why this formalism is essential in the early stages of the software cycle and then discuss why and how to merge information coming from different sources using this formalism. The talk is based on papers presented in FSE'04 and FME'06 and will also include emerging results on synthesizing partial behavioural models from temporal properties and scenarios.
