In the recent literature on time representation, an effort has been made to characterize the notion of time granularity and the relationships between granularities, in order to ha...
This paper presents a formal language for the design of component-based enterprise system. The language (StAC) allows the usual parallel and sequential behaviours, but most signifi...
For decades, researchers in knowledge representation (KR) have argued for and against various choices in KR formalisms, such as Rules, Frames, Semantic nets, and Formal logic. In ...
This paper presents a simulation performance improvement of the application of the Multicomponent Discrete Time System Specification (MultiDTSS) formalism to a fire spread. Multic...
