Abstract: Software for, and a method of using a computer for, specifying and verifying synchronous and asynchronous concurrent systems. The method comprises specifying software in a design language possessing a formal semantics; simulating the design in accordance with its formal semantics; verifying that the design satisfies predetermined requirements; generating test cases and; generating software code. The method includes the steps of inputting by a graphical editor and a textual editor a formal design of the software, inputting desired properties as formulas in temporal logic, and verifying automatically if the formal design satisfies the desired properties.

Abstract: This and other objects are provided in a method for displaying and managing a set of related images. The invention includes design of screen area in terms of how many, how big, and where workspaces are located. The invention assigns image sets to different workspaces; creates a tree of workspace setups for a specific image viewing session; and allows customization of the tree on a per user, per workstation type basis.
