The provision of efficient methods and tool support for the development and engineering of distributed systems is a key enabling factor for the evolution of Information Technology...
Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) are widely used for describing interaction scenarios between the components of a distributed system. Consequently, worst-case response time estimati...
Middleware technologies, often limit the way in which object classes may be used in distributed applications due to the fixed distribution policies imposed by the Middleware system...

: The specification of the dynamic behaviour of reactive distributed systems must exhibit the structures of control and has to imply explicitly the relevant aspects of the distribu...
Distributed systems are difficult to design and develop. The difficulties arise both in basic safety correctness properties, and in achieving high performance. As a result of this...
