This paper argues that complex, embedded software agent systems are best constructed with parallel, layered architectures. These systems resemble Minskian Societies of Mind and Br...
Abstract. In this paper we focus on design of a class of distributed embedded systems that primarily perform real-time controlling tasks. We propose a two-layer component model for...
This paper describes the design and implementation of functionally distributed control architecture for real-time control of robot systems. Robot systems must control several func...
Safety-critical distributed real-time systems, such as networked medical devices, must operate according to their specification, because incorrect behaviour can have fatal conseque...
: The widely accepted possible benefits of formal methods on the one hand and their minor use compared to informal or graphical description techniques on the other hand have repeat...
