—We describe how to use a timeband architecture to model real-time requirements. The architecture separates requirements that use different time units, producing a family of mode...

Abstract. The real-time process algebra (RTPA) is a set of new mathematical notations for formally describing system architectures, and static and dynamic behaviors. It is recogniz...
Fluid modelling is a next-generation technique for analysing massive performance models. Passive cooperation is a popular cooperation mechanism frequently used by performance engi...
Coordination languages were introduced in the early 80's as programming notations to manage the interaction among concurrent collaborating software entities. Process algebras...
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...
