Increasing sizes of present-day distributed software systems call for coordination models which are both modular and scalable. Precise modelling of real-life applications further r...
We propose a framework for component-based modeling of distributed systems. It provides separation of concerns between computation (in object oriented components), coordination (vi...
We specify the black box behavior of dataflow components by characterizing the relation between their input and their output histories. We distinguish between three main classes of...
This paper first summerizes and then presents a formal proof to a new conservative deadlock-free algorithm, YADDES [l], for asynchronous discrete event simulation. The proof not o...
Models are gaining importance in software development, for instance in the MDD field, as well as in other disciplines such as biology and physics. Hence, tool support is needed to ...
