Statecharts is a visual language for specifying the behavior of reactive systems. The language extends nite-state machines with concepts of hierarchy, concurrency, and priority. De...
Holonic Manufacturing Systems have emerged over the last seven years as strategy for manufacturing control system design. A new approach called Holonic ComponentBased Architecture...
We introduce and analyze a deterministic fluid model that serves as an approximation for the Gt/GI/st + GI manyserver queueing model, which has a general time-varying arrival pro...
The management of modern distributed systems is complicated by scale and dynamics. Scalable, decoupled communication establishes flexible, loosely coupled component relationships,...
