This paper presents a hierarchical approach on the simulation of large-scale discrete event systems used recently by Kiran Consulting Group (KCG) to model shipyard operations. Bec...
Dynamic events can be regarded as long-term temporal objects, which are characterized by spatio-temporal features at multiple temporal scales. Based on this, we design a simple st...
The events of a security protocol and their causal dependency can play an important role in the analysis of security properties. This insight underlies both strand spaces and the ...
The design of complex systems requires powerful mechanisms for modeling state, concurrent events, and real-time behavior; as well as for visualising and structuring systems in ord...
A logic model checker can be an effective tool for debugging software applications. A stumbling block can be that model checking tools expect the user to supply a formal statement...
