We present a translation of looping alternating two-way automata into a comparably inexpressive description logic, which is contained in SHIQ. This enables us to perform the empti...
Abstract. Modern incremental and iterative software engineering processes advocate to build software systems by first creating a highly simpliabstract model of the system which is ...
Abstract. Some research works have mentioned the similarity of autopoiesis with (M,R) systems proposed by Rosen, from the perspective of closedness of the systems. However, there a...
We explore a structuring mechanism for reactive systems, based on two ideas: array iterators allow the description of regular systems; logical-time contracts allow local or global...
A case study of a crane is defined for the evaluation of system description languages. The plant (car and load) is given as a fourth-order linear system. The embedded control incl...
