We investigate whether asynchronous computational models and asynchronous algorithms can be considered for designing real-time distributed fault-tolerant systems. A priori, the lac...
The presence of network latency leads to usability problems in distributed groupware applications. Example problems include difficulty synchronizing tightly-coupled collaboration...
--This paper presents a novel approach to evaluate the response time in networked automation systems (NAS) that use a client/server protocol. The developments introduced are derive...
We propose to use high-level Petri nets as a model for the semantics of high-level parallel systems. This model is known to be useful for the purpose of verification and we show t...
Narrative time has an important role to play in Interactive Storytelling (IS) systems. In contrast to prevailing IS approaches which use implicit models of time, in our work we ha...
