The language AML is used to specify the semantics of architecture description languages, ADLs. It is a very primitive language, having declarations for only three constructs: elem...
A new coordination language for distributed data-parallel programs is presented, call SNet. The intention of SNet is to introduce advanced structuring techniques into a coordinatio...

Stepwise refinement is at the core of many approaches to synthesis and optimization of hardware and software systems. For instance, it can be used to build a synthesis approach for...
We show that states of a dynamical system can be usefully represented by multi-step, action-conditional predictions of future observations. State representations that are grounded...
