The presence of network latency leads to usability problems in distributed groupware applications. Example problems include difficulty synchronizing tightly-coupled collaboration...
--This paper presents a novel approach to evaluate the response time in networked automation systems (NAS) that use a client/server protocol. The developments introduced are derive...
We propose to use high-level Petri nets as a model for the semantics of high-level parallel systems. This model is known to be useful for the purpose of verification and we show t...
ASTRAL is a high-level formal specification language for real-time (infinite state) systems. It is provided with structuring mechanisms that allow one to build modularized specifi...
The concepts of Autonomic and Organic Computing (AC/OC) promise to make modern computer systems more secure and easier to manage. In this paper, we extend the observer/controller a...
