In contrast to a large body of theoretical work on computer systems, distributed systems are not idealised constructions, unconstrained by physical world limitations. They must be...
Abstract. This paper addresses the problems appearing in componentbased development of safety-critical systems. We aim at efficient reasoning about safety at system level while add...
We present a methodology for the modeling of complex program behavior in CLP. In the first part we present an informal description about how to represent a system in CLP. At its ...
Manyimportant physical phenomena,such as temperature distribution, air flow, and acoustic waves,are describedas continuous,distributed parameterfields. Analyzingandcontrolling the...
Protocols for distributed systems make often use of random transitions to achieve a common goal. A popular example are randomized leader election protocols. We introduce probabilis...
