The major contribution of this paper is the presentation of a general unifying description of distributed algorithms allowing to map local, node-based, algorithms onto a single gl...
The synchronous model of computation divides the execution of a program into an infinite sequence of socalled macro steps, which are further divided into finitely many micro steps....
Abstract. Accurate and swift responses are crucial to Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs), especially if automatic abortion mechanisms are running. In keeping with this idea, this w...
We consider a specific kind of Abstract State Machines. It is shown how the machines can be used to provide a low-level formal semantics for a tiny object-oriented language, inclu...
In spatial reasoning, in particular for applications in image understanding, structure recognition and computer vision, a lot of attention has to be paid to spatial relationships ...
