This tutorial focuses on advanced techniques to cope with the complexity of designing modern digital chips which are complete systems often containing multiple processors, complex...
Abstract. We provide a framework for distributed systems that impose timing constraints on their executions. We propose a timed model of communicating finite-state machines, which...
Abstract. UML 2.0, which is the standard modeling language for objectoriented systems, has only an informally given semantics. This is in particular the case for UML 2.0 state mach...
Quasi delay insensitive circuits are functionally independent of delays in gates and wires (except for some particular wires). Such asynchronous circuits offer high robustness but...
In this paper we define the concept of conversation policies: declarative specifications that govern communications between software agents using an agent communication language. ...
