We develop a pseudo-metric analogue of bisimulation for generalized semi-Markov processes. The kernel of this pseudo-metric corresponds to bisimulation; thus we have extended bisi...
We give a formal semantics for a highly expressive language for representing temporal relationships and events. This language, which we call Versatile Event Logic (VEL), provides ...
Recent research has sought to develop formal languages for business communication as more expressive, flexible and powerful alternatives to current electronic data interchange (ED...
Abstract—In this paper, a software architecture and knowledge representation scheme that enables the combination and reconfiguration of modular sensor and actuator components is...
In many modern designs, timing is either a key optimization goal and/or a mandatory constraint. We propose the first intellectual property protection technique using watermarking ...
