Abstract. We study the relationship between name creation and replication in a setting of infinitestate communicating automata. By name creation we mean the capacity of dynamicall...
Abstract. In order to design and analyse complex systems, modelers need formal models with two contradictory requirements: a high expressivity and the decidability of behavioural p...
We consider the class of finite-state programs executed by an unbounded number of replicated threads communicating via shared variables. The thread-state reachability problem for t...
Pure names are identifiers with no relation between them, except equality and inequality. In previous works we have extended P/T nets with the capability of creating and managing p...
It is shown that the boundedness problem for a certain class of basic object nets and a corresponding class of multiset rewriting systems is decidable. To achieve this result Dicks...
