Active systems are emerging in many fields, being particularly interesting those like Active Database Management Systems which always provide some kind of reactive capabilities. I...
Synchronous reactive formalisms associate concurrent behaviors to precise schedules on global clock(s). This allows a non-ambiguous notion of "absent" signal, which can ...

In this article, we propose to use the Discrete EVent system Specification (DEVS) formalism to describe and execute graph transformation control structures. We provide a short rev...
Research on agent communication languages has typically taken the speech acts paradigm as its starting point. Despite their manifest attractions, speech-act models of communicatio...
Synchronous languages rely on formal methods to ease the development of applications in an efficient and reusable way. Formal methods have been advocated as a means of increasing t...
