Application of model checking to isolated software components is not directly possible because a component does not form a complete program - the problem of missing environment oc...
Software components are now widely used in the development of systems. However, incompatibilities between their behavioural interfaces may make their composition impossible. The o...
PAGODA (Policy And GOal Based Distributed Autonomy) is a modular architecture for specifying and prototyping autonomous systems. A PAGODA node (agent) interacts with its environme...
Composing and orchestrating software components is a fundamental concern in modern software engineering. This paper addresses the possibility of such orchestration being dynamic, ...
In the last decade, many calculi for modelling distributed mobile code have been proposed. To assess their merits and encourage use, implementations of the calculi have often been...

Service oriented computing is an emerging paradigm for programming distributed applications based on services. Services are simple software elements that supply their functionalit...
The aim of the paper is to revisit the model of Biological Regulatory Networks (BRN) which was proposed by René Thomas to model the interactions between a set of genes. We give a...
Documentation of knowledge about biological pathways is often informal and vague, making it difficult to efficiently synthesize the work of others into a holistic understanding of...
We present in this article a precise security model for data confidentiality in the framework of ASP (Asynchronous Sequential Processes). ASP is based on active objects, asynchro...
In this paper, the problem of synthesizing controllers that ensures non interference for multilevel security dense timed discrete event systems modeled by an extension of Timed Au...
