Provenance is an increasing concern due to the revolution in sharing and processing scientific data on the Web and in other computer systems. It is proposed that many computer sys...

We propose a general formal model of isolated hierarchical parallel computations, and identify several fragments to match the concurrency constructs present in real-world programm...
Abstract. The aim of the work is to develop formal models of interaction and of the related support infrastructures, that overcome the limits of the current approaches. We propose ...
In our approach to the Programming Languages course, formal models are integrated as a thread that pervades the course, rather than as a one of many topics that is introduced and ...
The CCS (Calculus of Communicating Systems) process algebra is a well-known formal model of synchronization and communication. It is used for the analysis of safety and liveness i...
: Computer scientists work with formal models of algorithms and computation, and someday service scientists may work with formal models of service systems, which we define as value...

We do not interact with systems without first performing some physical action on a physical device. This paper shows how formal notations and formal models can be developed to acc...

Automatic generation of formal specifications from requirement reduces cost and complexity of formal models creation. Thus, the generated formal model brings the possibility to ca...
The notions of burden of proof and presumption are central to law, but as noted in McCormick on Evidence, they are also the slipperiest of any of the family of legal terms employe...
The purpose is to explore how norm-governed behavior within agent societies can be achieved in the context of Virtual Enterprises. We analyze a number of formal models from the age...
