— This paper considers a formal object-oriented model for distributed computing. Object orientation appears as a leading framework for concurrent and distributed systems. However...
Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) is a notation used in practice by protocol designers and system engineers. It is defined within an international standard (ITU Z120), and is also i...
Process algebras are standard formalisms for compositionally describing systems by the dependencies of their observable synchronous communication. In concurrent systems, parallel ...
The graphical formalism of Petri Nets (PNs) is established on a strong mathematical foundation that can be applied in systems speci®cation, analysis and veri®cation. However, cl...
