State machines consume and process actions complementary to programs issuing actions. State machines maintain a state and reply with a boolean response to each action in their int...
Abstract. One of the fundamental and seemingly simple aims of mathematical knowledge management (MKM) is to develop and standardize formats that allow to “represent the meaning o...
We give a formal semantics for a highly expressive language for representing temporal relationships and events. This language, which we call Versatile Event Logic (VEL), provides ...
In the Software/Hardware Engineering model-driven design methodology, preservation of real-time system properties can be guaranteed in the model synthesis up to a small time-deviat...
— We consider a distributed system modeled as a possibly large network of automata. Planning in this system consists in selecting and organizing actions in order to reach a goal ...
