We initiate the study of error confinement in distributed applications, where the goal is that only nodes that were directly hit by a fault may deviate from their correct external...
The construction of reactive systems often requires the combination of different individual functionalities, thus leading to a complex overall behavior. To achieve an efficient co...
The control flow of common processors does not match the specific needs of reactive systems. Key issues for these systems are preemption and concurrency, combined with timing pred...
We develop a theory of sorted bigraphical reactive systems. Every application of bigraphs in the literature has required an extension, a sorting, of pure bigraphs. In turn, every s...
Reactive systems are often described by interconnecting sub-components along architectural connectors defining communication policies. Generally, such global systems may exhibit p...

Descriptions of reactive systems focus heavily on behavioral aspects, often in terms of scenarios. To cope with the increasing complexity of services provided by these systems, beh...
Synchronous languages allow a high level, concurrent, and deterministic description the behavior of reactive systems. Thus, they can be used advantageously for the programming of ...
Reactive systems can be designed graphically using statecharts. This paper presents a scheme for the translation of statecharts into the Abstract Machine Notation (AMN) of the B me...
Abstract. We address the general problem of automatically proving safety properties of reactive systems within the UNITY model. We take up a relational and set-based approach, and ...
