This report presents a formal approach to reducing sequences in PEPA components. Performing the described amalgamation procedure we may remove, from the underlying Markov chain, t...
Today many formalisms exist for specifying complex Markov chains. In contrast, formalism for specifying the quantitative properties to analyze have remained quite primitive. In th...
Model-checking has turned out to be an efficient and relatively easy-to-use technique in the verification of formally described programs. However, there is one major drawback in u...
We demonstrate how XML and related technologies can be used for code mobility at any granularity, thus overcoming the restrictions of existing approaches. By not fixing a particul...

Tools and environments to aid developers in producing software have existed, in one form or another, since the early days of computer programming. They are becoming increasingly c...
