This paper defines an approach to simulation of natural systems, inspired by complex systems theory. A complex natural system is modeled as a multi-agent simulation system, agents...
Abstract. Petri nets have been widely used to model and analyze concurrent systems. Their wide-spread use in this domain is, on one hand, facilitated by their simplicity and expres...
—Synchronous languages offer a deterministic model of concurrency at the level of actions. However, essentially all compilers for synchronous languages compile these actions into...
Published results show that various models may be obtained by combining parallel composition with probability and with or without non-determinism. In this paper we treat this probl...
Timed Communicating Object Z (TCOZ) combines Object-Z's strengths in modeling complex data and algorithms with Timed CSP's strengths in modeling real-time concurrency. TC...
