We present different techniques for reducing the number of states and transitions in nondeterministic automata. These techniques are based on the two preorders over the set of st...
We discuss four issues concerning the semantics of Message Flow Graphs (MFGs). MFGs are extensively used as pictures of message-passing behavior. One type of MFG, Message Sequence...
Component based development allows to build software upon existing components and promises to improve software reuse and reduce costs. To gain reliability of a component based sys...

We study a binary-cell-states eight-cell neighborhood two-dimensional cellular automaton model of a quasi-chemical system with a substrate and a reagent. Reactions are represented...
Strategies are a powerful mechanism to control rule application in rule-based systems. For instance, different transition relations can be defined and then combined by means of ...
