In heterogeneous distributed systems, such as Grids, a resource broker is responsible of automatically selecting resources, and mapping application tasks to them. A crucial aspect...
Abstract. In this paper, an integrated approach for the modeling and the validation through simulation of multi-agent systems is proposed. The approach centers on the instantiation...
Traditional access control mechanisms rely on a reference monitor to mediate access to protected resources. Reference monitors are inherently centralized and existing attempts to ...
Coloured Petri Nets (CP-nets or CPNs) and their supporting computer tools have been used in a wide range of application areas such as communication protocols, software designs, and...
This paper deals with specific issues related to the design of distributed embedded systems implemented with mixed, eventtriggered and time-triggered task sets, which communicate ...
