Handshake protocols are asynchronous protocols that enforce several properties such as absence of transmission interference and insensitivity from delays of propagation on wires. W...
Abstract. Consider a Markovian Petri net with race policy. The marking process has a "product form" stationary distribution if the probability of viewing a given marking ...
This paper addresses the key issue of providing flexible multimedia presentation with user participation and suggests synchronization models which can specify the user participat...
We study the complexity of several standard problems for 1-safe Petri nets and some of its subclasses. We prove that reachability, liveness, and deadlock are all PSPACE-complete f...
Current asynchronous tools are focussed mainly on the design of a single interface module. In many applications, one must design interacting interface modules that potentially comm...
Abstract. In the last few years, the semantics of Petri nets has been investigated in several different ways. Apart from the classical "token game", one can model the beh...
This paper shows how Coloured Petri Nets (CP-nets) can be extended to support synchronous communication. We introduce coloured communication channels through which transitions are...
ing Dependencies between Software Configuration Items CARL A. GUNTER University of Pennsylvania icle studies an abstract model of dependencies between software configuration items ...
The paper is devoted to the investigation of behavioural equivalences of concurrent systems modelled by Petri nets. Back-forth bisimulation equivalences known from the literature a...
-- This paper presents an efficient method for the timing verification of concurrent systems, modeled as labeled Timed Petri nets. The verification problems we consider require us ...
