We describe a method for writing assumption/guarantee specifications of concurrent systems. We also provide a proof rule for reasoning about the composition of these systems. Spec...
Time-sharing operating systems may delay application processing of incoming messages because other processes are scheduled when the messages arrive. In this paper, we present a sim...
Workflow management systems (WfMS) have become a widely accepted software technology, which enables the effective management, execution, and monitoring of comput

Abstract—A probabilistic analytical framework for decentralized load balancing (LB) strategies for heterogeneous distributed-computing systems (DCSs) is presented with the overal...
The underlying model of distributed systems is that of loosely coupled components r running in parallel and communicating by message passing. Description, construction and evoluti...
