Abstract. We present a framework for modelling heterogeneous distributed systems using graph transformations in the Synchronized Hyperedge Replacement approach, which describes com...
Advances in computer networks that support the invocation of remote services in heterogeneous environments enable new levels of software composition. In order to manage composition...
Agent systems are highly distributed and feature widespread coordination and collaboration. Because of these characteristics, a traditional object oriented approach to software de...
