We present a polynomial upper bound for flattening of UML statecharts. An efficient flattening technique is derived and implemented in SCOPE—a code generator targeting constra...
In this paper, we present a generic approach to integrate datatypes expressed using formal specification languages within state diagrams. Our main motivations are (i) to be able t...
The decomposition of large systems into parts is a general principle of software design. Even more, in the scope of distributed systems a partition of the whole system into distri...
Abstract. The agent paradigm can be seen as an extension of the notion of (active) objects by concepts like autonomy, cooperation, and goal-oriented behavior. Mainstream object-ori...
On the basis of a case-study, we demonstrate the usefulness of topology invariants for model-driven systems development. Considering a graph grammar semantics for a relevant fragme...
