We propose a new computation model which combines the operational principles of functional languages (reduction), logic languages (non-deterministic search for solutions), and int...
This paper introduces a new programming model for distributed systems, distributed composite objects (DCO), to meet efficient implementation, transparency, and performance demands ...
Systematic state-space exploration is a powerful technique for veri cation of concurrent software systems. Most work in this area deals with manually-constructed models of those sy...
The problem addressed in this paper deals with data sharing as a means to cooperate. Our main focus is on transactional mechanisms to manage concurrent accesses to (partially) sha...
