Model checking and other finite-state analysis techniques have been very successful when used with hardware systems and less successful with software systems. It is especially di...
This paper discusses how simulation is used to design new manufacturing systems and to improve the performance of existing ones. Topics to be discussed include: manufacturing issu...
This paper describes the object-oriented development of ProtoHyperflow, a data flow visual language. We demonstrate how object-oriented software construction principles can be use...

Embedded distributed real-time systems are traditionally used in safety-critical application areas such as avionics, healthcare, and the automotive sector. Assuring dependability ...
Self-contextualizability refers to the system ability to autonomously adapt its behaviour to context in order to maintain its objectives satisfied. In this paper, we propose a mod...
