A central challenge in computer science and knowledge representation is the integration of conceptual frameworks for continuous and discrete change, as exemplified by the theory ...
We present a type theory for analyzing concurrent multiparty interactions as found in service-oriented computing. Our theory introduces a novel and flexible type structure, able t...
We show that the so-called ‘Petri nets are monoids’ approach initiated by Meseguer and Montanari can be extended from ordinary place/transition Petri nets to contextual nets by...
Software transactional memory systems enable a programmer to easily write concurrent data structures such as lists, trees, hashtables, and graphs, where non-conflicting operation...
This paper develops some control structures suitable for composing fault-tolerant distrib uted applications using atomic actions (atomic transactions) as building blocks, and then...
