State encoding is one of the most difficult problems in the synthesis of asynchronous controllers. This paper presents a method that can solve the problem of large controllers spec...
This paper presents PLCTools, a formal environment for designing and simulating programmable controllers. Control models are specified with IEC FBD (Function Block Diagram), and t...
Action calculi, which generalise process calculi such as Petri nets, -calculus and ambient calculus, have been presented in terms of action graphs. We here offer linear action grap...
Abstract. This article introduces probabilistic cluster branching processes, a probabilistic unfolding semantics for untimed Petri nets, with no structural or safety assumptions, g...
We show that the following problem is decidable: given expressions E1 and E2 constructed from variables by the regular operations and shuffle, is the identity E1 = E2 true for all...
