A Comparison of the Declarative Modelling Languages B, Dash, and TLA+
Abbassi, Ali; Bandali, Amin; Day, Nancy; Serna, Jose (IEEE, 2019-08)Declarative behavioural modelling is a powerful modelling paradigm that enables users to model system func- tionality abstractly and concisely. We compare two well-used formal declarative modelling languages, B and TLA+, ... -
DASH: A New Language for Declarative Behavioural Requirements with Control State Hierarchy
Serna, Jose; Day, Nancy A.; Farheen, Sabria (IEEE, 2017-09-04)We present DASH, a new language for describing formal behavioural models of requirements. DASH combines the ability to write abstract, declarative transitions (as in Z or Alloy) with a labelled control state hierarchy (as ... -
Dash: declarative behavioural modelling in Alloy with control state hierarchy
Serna, Jose; Day, Nancy A.; Esmaeilsabzali, Shahram (Springer Nature, 2023-04)We present Dash, an extension to the Alloy language to model dynamic behaviour using the labelled control state hierarchy of Statecharts. From Statecharts, Dash borrows the concepts to specify hierarchy, concurrency, and ... -
DASH: Declarative Modelling with Control State Hierarchy (Preliminary Version)
Serna, Jose; Day, Nancy A.; Esmaeilsabzali, Shahram (University of Waterloo, 2018)We present a new language, called DASH, for describing formal behavioural models. DASH combines common modelling constructs to describe abstractly both data and control in an integrated manner. DASH uses the Alloy language ...
