Process algebras are standard formalisms for compositionally describing systems by the dependencies of their observable synchronous communication. In concurrent systems, parallel ...
A critical challenge to creating effective open multi-agent systems is allowing them to operate effectively in the face of potential failures. In this paper we present an experimen...
Operating system lockup errors can render a computer unusable by preventing the execution other programs. Watchdog timers can be used to recover from a lockup by resetting the pro...

This paper develops a model for exceptions and an approach for incorporating them in commitment protocols among autonomous agents. Modeling and handling exceptions is critical for...
To enable fast and accurate evaluation of HW/SW implementation choices of on-chip communication, we present a method to automatically generate timed OS simulation models. The meth...
