This paper presents an extension of Petri net framework with imprecise temporal properties. We use possibility theory to represent imprecise time by time-stamping tokens and assig...
Compositional performance analysis iteratively alternates local scheduling analysis techniques and output event model propagation between system components to enable performance a...
This paper argues for new computational mechanisms to aid specification of requirements for composite systems. It presents mechanisms for storing specification fragments, or viewp...

A natural trend in most of the engineering disciplines is the construction of systems from components. This has the potential to reduce costs and increase reliability, provided th...
Current object-oriented approaches to distributed programs may be criticized in several respects. First, method calls are generally synchronous, which leads to much waiting in dis...
