At rst sight, real-time and asynchronous message passing like in SDL and ROOM seem to be incompatible. Indeed these languages fail to model real-time constraints accurately. In thi...
Distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems have stringent constraints on timeliness and other properties whose assurance is crucial to correct system behavior. Formal tools ...

The complexity of distributed systems is a problem when designers want to evaluate their safety and liveness. Often, they are built by integration of existing components with newl...
Agents are a useful abstraction frequently employed as a basic building block in modeling service, information and resource sharing in global environments. The connecting of reques...
In this paper we develop a formalization of semantic relations that facilitates efficient implementations of relations in lexical databases or knowledge representation systems usi...
