We give a formal framework for studying real-time discrete-event systems. It describes concurrent processes as sets of possible behaviors. Compositions of processes are processes ...
Modeling and simulation tools have been used for helping in the early stages of hardware/software systems design. The DEVS formalism is a technique that enables hierarchical descr...
In this paper, we define a continuum of modeling styles, ranging from collections of very simple agents on one end to collections of very complex agents at the other end, and a s...
Agent-oriented modeling of software and information systems and agent-based simulation are commonly viewed as two separate fields with different concepts and techniques. We argue t...
Boolean modeling frameworks have long since proved their worth for capturing and analyzing essential characteristics of complex systems. Hybrid approaches aim at exploiting the ad...
