Component adaptation is widely recognised to be one of the crucial problems in Component-Based Software Engineering. The objective of this paper is to set a formal foundation for t...
This paper studies specific language level abstractions for component-based programming. We propose a simple model which captures some basic ingredients — like explicit context ...
For many years, Petri nets have been used for modeling the behavior of various types of concurrent systems. While these net models are especially well suited to capture the behavi...
We present an active approach for discriminating different materials by impulsively contacting (hitting) them, and sensing and interpreting the resulting sounds. In theory, the an...
