Abstract. In order to design and analyse complex systems, modelers need formal models with two contradictory requirements: a high expressivity and the decidability of behavioural p...
In discrete event systems, a given task can start executing when all the required input data are available. The required input data for a given task may change along the evolution...
The paper presents the implementation of a railway control system, as a means of assessing the potential of coordination languages to be used for modelling software architectures f...
In switched dynamic system the continuous phase
ow is accompanied by a stream of switching events. If the system exhibits chaotic behavior this event stream can be used for gener...
We study the development of distributed agent environments as distributed event-based systems specified in the Ambient Event Calculus (AEC). The AEC is a logic-based formalism th...
