Abstract. Formal methods emphasizes the need for a top-down approach when developing large reliable software systems. Refinements are map step by step abstract algebraic specificat...
Communication overhead is one of the most important factors affecting the performance of message passing multicomputers. We present evidence (through the analysis of several paral...
We introduce and develop the notion of symmetric monoidal sketch. Every symmetric monoidal sketch generates a generic model. If the sketch is commutative and single-sorted, the gen...
Today, neither transactional provisions, in general, nor concurrency control, in particular, of DBMS-based processing are tailored to the specific needs of large and collaborative...
This paper presents an example of how software architectures can encode temporal properties as well as the traditional structural ones. In the context of expressing concurrency con...
