Understanding a software system by just analyzing the structure of the system reveals only half of the picture, since the structure tells us only how the code is working but not w...
This paper explains the modelling of distributed discrete-event systems in one single simulation model. Our purpose was to evaluate the design of the distributed system and to hig...
There is little or no guidance to systematically design a self-organising emergent solution that achieves the desired macroscopic behaviour. This paper describes decentralised coor...
GoldSim is a powerful and flexible Windows-based computer program for carrying out probabilistic simulations of complex systems to support management and decisionmaking in enginee...
Software systems in safety-critical industrial automation systems, such as power plants and steel mills, become increasingly large, complex, and distributed. For assessing risks, l...
