Current real-world software applications typically involve heavy use of relational and XML data and their query languages. Unfortunately object-oriented languages and database que...
In this paper we deal with the problem of modeling railway networks with Petri nets so as to apply the theory of supervisory control for discrete event systems to automatically de...
Stochastic Petri nets (SPNs) have been proved useful for the quantitative analysis of systems. This paper introduces ArgoSPE, a tool for the performance evaluation of software syst...
In this paper we present a formal approach to analyse performance for distributed systems, which is integrated in the early stages of the software development process. We propose ...
Abstract--Safety analysis in Systems Engineering (SE) processes, as usually implemented, rarely relies on formal methods such as model checking since such techniques, however power...
