Code model checking of software components suffers from the well-known problem of state explosion when applied to highly parallel components, despite the fact that a single compon...
When provingthe correctness of algorithmsin distributed systems, one generally considers safety conditions and liveness conditions. The Input Output I O automaton model and its ti...
Parallel and distributed programming is conceptually harder to undertake and to understand than sequential programming, because a programmer often has to manage the coexistence an...
A critical resource in a distributed real-time system is its shared communication medium. Unrestrained concurrent access to the network can lead to collisions that reduce the syst...
Swarm is a computational model which extends the UNITY model in three important ways: (1) UNITY’s fixed set of variables is replaced by an unbounded set of tuples which are add...
