The perfectly synchronized round model provides the abstraction of crash-stop failures with atomic message delivery. This abstraction makes distributed programming very easy. We p...
The composite signal flow model of computation targets systems with significant control and data processing parts. It builds on the data flow and synchronous data flow models ...
Abstract. “Pulse Synchronization” intends to invoke a recurring distributed event at the different nodes, of a distributed system as simultaneously as possible and with a freq...
Synchronous systems can immediately react to the inputs of their environment which may lead to so-called causality cycles between actions and their trigger conditions. Systems wit...
: We concentrate on two major aspects of reactive system design: behavior control and modularity. These are studied from a formal point of view, within the framework of action syst...
