This paper argues that basing the semantics of concurrent systems on the notions of state and state transitions is neither advisable nor necessary. The tendency to do this is deepl...
In this work, novel symbolic step encodings of the transition relation for object based communicating state machines are presented. This class of systems is tailored to capture the...
Abstract. Time Petri nets have proved their interest in modeling realtime concurrent systems. Their usual semantics is defined in term of firing sequences, which can be coded in a ...
Most hardware description frameworks, whether schematic or textual, use cooperating finite state machines (CFSM) as the underlying abstraction. In the CFSM framework, a designer ...
In previous work [16], we give a type system that guarantees that well-typed multithreaded programs are possibilistically noninterfering. If thread scheduling is probabilistic, ho...
