We provide an algebraic formalisation of connectors in BIP. These are used to structure interactions in a component-based system. A connector relates a set of typed ports. Types a...
Engine production is a complex process that requires the manufacturing and assembly of a wide variety of components to create a varied product mix. Simulation plays a key role in ...

In this paper we consider how a BDI agent might determine its best course of action. We draw on previous work which has presented a model of persuasion over action and we discuss ...

Nested-parallelism programming models, where the task graph associated to a computation is series-parallel, present good analysis properties that can be exploited for scheduling, c...
: The development of embedded systems is a challenging task because of the distributed, reactive and real-time nature of such systems. Distribution of embedded components across bu...
