Hierarchical modularity is a familiar characteristic of a large class of natural dynamical systems. A normal interpretation of modularity is that interactions between subsystems a...
Formal description techniques, verification methods, and their tool-based automated application meanwhile provide valuable support for the formal analysis of communication protocol...
Programmability is an increasingly important barrier to the deployment of multi-robot systems, as no prior approach allows routine composition and reuse of general aggregate behavi...
The idea behind Aspect-Oriented Modeling (AOM) is to apply aspect-oriented techniques to (software) models with the aim of modularizing crosscutting concerns. This can be done with...
Behavior, Interaction, Priorities (BIP) is a component framework for constructing systems from a set of atomic components by using two kinds of composition operators: interactions ...
