Abstract. We propose an extension of the Finite State Machine framework in distributed systems, using input/output partial order automata (IOPOA). In this model, transitions can be...
Fairness is an important concept in design and implementation of distributed systems. At the specification level, fairness usually serves as an assumption for proving liveness. At ...
This paper presents a self-correcting control unit design using Hamming codes for finite state machine (FSM) state encoding. The adopted technique can correct single-bit errors and...
We present a language model consisting of a collection of costed bidirectional finite state automata associated with the head words of phrases. The model is suitable for increment...
Synchronous Dataflow (SDF) is a powerful analysis tool for regular, cyclic, parallel task graphs. The behaviour of SDF graphs however is static and therefore not always able to ac...
