We propose an object-oriented calculus with internal concurrency and class-based inheritance that is built upon the join calculus. Method calls, locks, and states are handled in a...
Abstract. We present a technique for designing reconfiguration controllers in the Fractal component-based framework. We obtain discrete control loops that automatically enforce saf...
Self-adapting software adapts its behavior in an autonomic way, by dynamically adding, suppressing and recomposing components, and by the use of computational reflection. One way t...
We propose a formal method to automatically integrate security rules regarding an access control policy (expressed in Or-BAC) in Java programs. Given an untrusted application and a...
Bounded timed-arc Petri nets with read-arcs were recently proven equivalent to networks of timed automata, though the Petri net model cannot express urgent behaviour and the descri...
