In this work, we propose two high-level formalisms, Markov Decision Petri Nets (MDPNs) and Markov Decision Well-formed Nets (MDWNs), useful for the modeling and analysis of distrib...

This paper introduces an exact schedulability analysis for the optional computation model urider a specified failure hypothesis. From this analysis, we propose a solutionfor deter...
Formal modelling, in interactive system design, has received considerably less real use than might have been hoped. Heavy weight formal methods can be expensive to use, with poor c...
