Tree contraction algorithms, whose idea was first proposed by Miller and Reif, are important parallel algorithms to implement efficient parallel programs manipulating trees. Desp...
In this paper we introduce a new formalism to represent multi-agent systems where resources can be exchanged among different agents by maximizing the utility of the agents conformi...
Most distributed real-time embedded systems are specified combining state diagram and data flow languages. This leads to several real-time codes which together do not necessaril...
Abstract. Modern incremental and iterative software engineering processes advocate to build software systems by first creating a highly simpliabstract model of the system which is ...
Distributed applications are often built from sets of distributed components that must be co-ordinated in order to achieve some global behaviour. The common approach is to use a c...
