He looked the part of the establishment analyst: an austere presence, meticulous in speech and dress, he fully embodied a formal Yankee prototype the way an immigrant's son can.
Last week, the Customs and Border Protection agency released formal requests for prototypes of a southern border wall with Mexico.
They proposed six phases: Initiation (rough concept), Pre-production (creation of game design and prototype), Production (formal details, refinement, implementation), Testing (bug reports, refinement testing, change requests), Beta (third-party testers), and Release (public release).
ICOS integrates a variety of tools, ranging from graphical specification editors over tautology checking and counterexample generation to code generators emitting C or VHDL, thus bridging the gap from formal specification to rapid prototype generation.
Finally, efficient and reliable verification and testing strategies need to be devised, by leveraging a combination of simulation, formal methods, and rapid prototyping.
The paper presents an approach to formal specification, verification and prototyping of network applications ranging from large information systems down to small components embedded e.g. in mobile devices.
The difference between a cloud and a school reveals itself in the fact that in the former, the autodidactic (and eo ipso auto-domesticative) factor increases -- whereas schools, as prototypes of formal institutions, are principally heterodidactic (authoritative) and conservative (hetero-domesticative) in their structures.
We have built prototype ontologies with formal RDF-based systems such as OWL [50], and developed an OWL-based system (ChemAxiom [51]) which describes physical properties and aspects of chemical structure and composition.
This has proved useful for constructing formal, yet executable, semantics when prototyping languages.
