The Automated Production Systems (APS) are composed of concurrent interacting entities. Then any model should exhibit parallel and sequential behaviours. The Grafcet is now well e...
When designing computer systems, simulation tools are used to imitate a real or proposed system. Complex, dynamic systems can be simulated without the cost and time constraints in...
For sometime now, Unified Modelling Language (UML) has been accepted as a standard for designing new systems. Its array of notations helps system designers to capture their ideas ...
This paper discusses a case study, the co-design of an ATM Network Interface Card (NIC). The NIC is aimed to interface applications with the physical network line. It is composed ...
Most efforts to automate formal verification of communicating systems have centred around finite-state systems (FSSs). However, FSSs are incapable of modelling many practical comm...
