When provingthe correctness of algorithmsin distributed systems, one generally considers safety conditions and liveness conditions. The Input Output I O automaton model and its ti...
Redundancy can improve the availability of components in service-oriented systems. However, predicting and quantifying the effects of different redundancy strategies can be a comp...
Abstract. This paper shows how systems can be built from their component parts with specified sharing. Its principle contribution is a modular language for configuring systems. A c...
Graph transformation systems have been introduced for the formal specification of software systems. States are thereby modeled as graphs, and computations as graph derivations acco...
Abstract. We survey the use of the Abstract State Machines (ASM) method for a rigorous foundation of modeling and validating web services, workflows, interaction patterns and busin...
