Abstract. Powerful grid and cluster computers allow efficient distributed simulation. Optimistic simulation techniques have been developed which allow for more parallelism in the l...
Reuse of software entities such as components or web services raise composition issues since, most of the time, they present mismatching behavioural interfaces. Here, we particula...
Indeterminism is typical for concurrent computation. If several concurrent actors compete for the same resource then at most one of them may succeed, whereby the choice of the suc...
