Obtaining performance models, like Markov chains and queueing networks, for systems of significant complexity and magnitude is a difficult task that is usually tackled using human...
In this paper we deal with the problem of modeling railway networks with Petri nets so as to apply the theory of supervisory control for discrete event systems to automatically de...
We address the programmatic realization of the access control model of security in distributed systems. Our aim is e the gap between abstract/declarative policies and their concre...

This paper addresses the question of producing modular sequential imperative code from synchronous data-flow networks. Precisely, given a system with several input and output flow...
One useful feature that is missing from today’s database systems is an explain capability that enables users to seek clarifications on unexpected query results. There are two t...
