However, bad actors have continuously found ways to exploit smart contracts for personal financial gain, which undermines the integrity of the Ethereum blockchain. This paper proposes a computer program called SADA (Static and Dynamic Analyzer), a novel approach to smart contract vulnerability detection using multiple Large Language Model (LLM) agents to analyze and flag suspicious Solidity code for Ethereum smart contracts. SADA not only improves upon existing vulnerability detection methods but also paves the way for more secure smart contract development practices in the rapidly evolving blockchain ecosystem.展开更多

By incorporating structured knowledge, the methodology enhances LLMs’ reasoning abilities, enabling more accurate and efficient handling of complex tasks. Integration with open APIs allows LLMs to access external services and real-time data, expanding their functionality and application range. Through real-world case studies, we demonstrate that this approach significantly improves the efficiency and adaptability of LLM-based applications, especially for time-sensitive tasks. Our methodology provides practical guidelines for developers to rapidly create robust and adaptable LLM applications capable of navigating dynamic information environments and performing effectively across diverse tasks.展开更多

However, little research has focused on testing web services. Based on the research of model checking techniques~ we propose a model checking based approach for testing web service composition which is described by using the web services choreography description language （WS-CDL）. According to worldwide web consortium （W3C） candidate recommendation, the WS-CDL specification provides a language for characterizing interactions between distinct web services using XML. Since the behaviors of web service composition are asynchronous, distributed, low-coupled and platform independent, we employ the guarded automata （GA） model for specifying the composition described in WS-CDL and using the simple promela interpreter （SPIN） model checker for detecting the collaborations of web services. Test cases can be transformed from counterexamples generated by SPIN using adequacy criteria. In this paper we apply the transition coverage criterion for generating counterex- amples. To illustrate our approach, we set ＂E-commerce service system＂ as an example for demonstrating how test cases can be generated using SPIN for compositions specified in WS-CDL.展开更多

The primary study shows that the mode of OIIM for testability scheme can make up the deficiencies in knowledge representation and reasoning existing in traditional information models,and achieve the information share and reuse. It provides the effectual model basis for the optimal design of the testability scheme.展开更多

Moreover, as FMS is a complex asynchronous concurrent system, its model also should have the abilities to express the concurrency in the system and to analyze the behavior of the system. It is difficult to use any one method to model such a complex system as FMS. A modeling method using Object-oriented modeling language-unified modeling language (UML) and object-Oriented Petri nets (OPNs) is proposed. Class diagram in UML is used to represent the static relations among the objects in FMS. OPNs are used to model the dynamic behavior of the objects and conduct performance analysis. OPNs also can be used to identify the attributes and operations of the objects. The model can describe the system integrally and can be used to design FMS control software naturally.展开更多

When the database became large and complex then it is necessary to create a unified model for getting the desired information in the minimum time and to implement the model in a better way. The present paper deals with the modeling for searching of the desired information from a large database by storing the data inside the three dimensional data cubes. A sample case study is considered as a real data related to the ground water and municipal water supply, which contains the data from the various localities of a city. For the demonstration purpose, a sample size is taken as nine but when it becomes very large for number of localities of different cities then it is necessary to store the data inside data cubes. A well known object-oriented Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used to create Unified class and state models. For verification purpose, sample queries are also performed and corresponding results are depicted.展开更多
