With the move to distributed, component based systems involving reuse of components and services, emergent, system-wide properties, including safety and security in particular, are...
Program transformation through the repeated application of simple rewrite rules is conducive to formal verification. In practice, program transformation oftentimes requires data t...
Most work to date in parallel and distributed discrete event simulation is based on assigning precise time stamps to events, and time stamp order event processing. An alternative ...
Based on the FOCUS theory of distributed systems (see [Broy, Stølen 01]) that are composed of interacting components we introduce a formal model of services and layered architectu...
Deployment of distributed applications on large systems, and especially on grid infrastructures, becomes a more and more complex task. Grid users spend a lot of time to prepare, in...
