Safety is increasingly important for software based, critical systems. Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a safety technique from engineering, developed for analyzing and assessing syste...
Interacting State Machines (ISMs) are used to model reactive systems and to express and verify their properties. They can be seen both as automata exchanging messages simultaneousl...
Distributed multithreaded software systems are becoming more and more important in modern networked environment. For these systems, concurrency control and thread synchronization ...
This paper presents three sets of classification schemes for processes, properties, and transitions that can be used to assist in the analysis of real-time systems. These classifi...
Abstract. In this paper, we consider the issue of designing agents that successfully balance the amount of time spent in reconsidering their intentions against the amount of time s...
