Data-centric business applications comprise an important class of distributed systems that includes on-line stores, document management systems, and patient portals. However, their...
Hybrid transition systems in their full generality describe continuous behaviour by a set of equations in each mode an algebraic or di erential equation for each state variable in ...
This paper generalises the theory of agent refinement from [1] to multi-agent systems in the presence of new coordination mechanisms extended with real time. The generalisation is ...

We build on PTIDES, a programming model for distributed embedded systems that uses discrete-event (DE) models as program specifications. PTIDES improves on distributed DE executi...
In this paper, we present a novel deformable model for soft tissue simulation in a real-time manner. The innovative model consists of two submodels: the surface one and the interna...
