We study the development of distributed agent environments as distributed event-based systems specified in the Ambient Event Calculus (AEC). The AEC is a logic-based formalism th...
Abstract. Comparison between different formalisms and models is often by flattening structure and reducing them to behaviorally equivalent models e.g., automaton and Turing machine...
Abstract. We propose an extension of the Finite State Machine framework in distributed systems, using input/output partial order automata (IOPOA). In this model, transitions can be...
Bialgebraic semantics, invented a decade ago by Turi and Plotkin, is an approach to formal reasoning about well-behaved structural operational specifications. An extension of alg...
The canon is a composition pattern with a long history and many forms. The concept of the canon has also been applied to experimental film making and on Japanese television. We de...
