Among related synchronous programming principles, the model of computation of the Polychrony workbench stands out by its capability to give high-level description of systems where...

Semantic Web data exhibits very skewed frequency distributions among terms. Efficient large-scale distributed reasoning methods should maintain load-balance in the face of such hi...
We describe a simple scheme for mapping synchronous language models, in the form of Boolean Mealy Machines, into timed automata. The mapping captures certain idealized implementat...
We propose a lightweight fault-tolerant multicast and membership service for real-time process groups which may exchange periodic and aperiodic messages. The service supports boun...
