Abstract. We investigate layered composition for real-time systems modelled as (networks of) timed automata (TA). We first formulate the principles of layering and transition indep...
In this paper we study a process algebra whose semantics is based on true concurrency. In our model, actions are defined in terms of the resources they need to execute, which allo...
Sequential composition of voting rules, by making use of structural properties of the voters’ preferences, provide computationally economical ways for making a common decision o...
A calculus for developing programs from specifications written as predicates that describe the relationship between the initial and final state is proposed. Such specifications are...
Abstract. In this paper we study a special operator for sequential composition, which is de ned relative to a dependency relation over the actions of a given system. The idea is th...
We study the question whether the sequential or parallel composition of two functions, each indistinguishable from a random function by non-adaptive distinguishers is secure agains...
