Rate transition systems (RTS) are a special kind of transition systems introduced for defining the stochastic behavior of processes and for associating continuous-time Markov chain...
Abstract. A stochastic extension of COWS is presented. First the formalism is given an operational semantics leading to finitely branching transition systems. Then its syntax and ...
Formal verification using the model checking paradigm has to deal with two aspects: The system models are structured, often as products of components, and the specification logic...
Object orientation and component-based development have both proven useful for the elaboration of open distributed systems. These paradigms are offered by the Creol language. Creo...
An ordinal fuzzy linguistic Information Retrieval System (IRS) based on a multi-level weighting scheme to represent the user queries, in a more flexible way, is proposed. The IRS a...
