We consider the effect of common random numbers (CRNs) among simulated systems in two different multinomial selection procedures; the classical procedure BEM (Bechhofer, Elmaghr...
009), which constitutes an abstraction of the various aspects of a MAS, generalizing the AGR approach and incorporating the institutional work of Searle (Searle 1995). This model i...
This paper reviews the model of interactive Markov chains (IMCs, for short), an extension of labelled transition systems with exponentially delayed transitions. We show that IMCs a...
Distributed systems are inherently complex, and therefore difficult to design and develop. Experience shows that new technologies—such as components, aspects, and application f...
Transaction-level modelling (TLM) is a poorlyterm, promising a level of abstraction like RTL (register transfer level), where the key feature is a `transaction'. But unlike r...
