Studying industrial systems by simulation enables the designer to study the dynamic behaviour and to determine some characteristics of the system. Unfortunately, simulation also h...
This paper reviews the model of interactive Markov chains (IMCs, for short), an extension of labelled transition systems with exponentially delayed transitions. We show that IMCs a...
Abstract. Coordination languages are intended to simplify the development of complex software systems by separating the coordination aspects of an application from its computation ...

Modularity is a key requirement for large ontologies in order to achieve re-use, maintainability, and evolution. Mechanisms for ‘normalisation’ to achieve analogous aims are s...
A major research goal for compilers and environments is the automatic derivation of tools from formal specifications. However, the formal model of the language is often inadequat...
