In this work, novel symbolic step encodings of the transition relation for object based communicating state machines are presented. This class of systems is tailored to capture the...
Current object-oriented approaches to distributed programs may be criticized in several respects. First, method calls are generally synchronous, which leads to much waiting in dis...
Designing a software system's architecture properly is one of the most important tasks of any software engineering project. Nevertheless there exists no common definition of ...
