—Hardware advances will allow us to embed small devices into everyday objects such as toasters and coffee mugs, thus naturally form a wireless object network that connects the ob...
We present an abstract language for distributed systems of processes with local memory and private communication channels. Communication between processes is done via messaging. Th...
This paper examines the problem of building scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems from collections of communicating process groups, while maintaining well-defined end-to-en...
With the increasing complexity of today's embedded systems, there is a need to formally verify such designs at mixed abstraction levels. This is needed if some compoe describ...
