This work presents a model of a distributed database system which provides the framework to study the performance of timestamp ordering concurrency control. We exhibit an analytic...
The latest ITU-T standard syntax of Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) 16] o ers several operators to compose MSCs in a hierarchical, iterating, and nondeterministic way. However, curr...
Whereas partial order methods have proved their efficiency for the analysis of discrete-event systems, their application to timed systems remains a challenging research topic. Here...
While existing mathematical descriptions can accurately account for phenomena at microscopic scales (e.g. molecular dynamics), these are often high-dimensional, stochastic and thei...
Scenarios are a popular means for capturing behavioural requirements of software systems early in the lifecycle. Scenarios show how components interact to provide system level func...
