As the requirements for system analysis and design become more complex, the need for a natural, yet formal way of specifying system analysis findings and design decisions are becom...
Convergence is often the key liveness property for distributed systems that interact with physical processes. Techniques for proving convergence (asymptotic stability) have been ex...
We propose a new class of representations that can be used for modeling (and model checking) temporal, strategic and epistemic properties of agents and their teams. Our representa...
We relate several models of concurrency introduced in the literature in order to extend classical Mazurkiewicz traces. These are mainly Droste's concurrent automata and Arnold...
