The aim of this paper is to investigate the relation between two models of concurrent systems: tile rewrite systems and coalgebras. Tiles are rewrite rules with side e ects which a...
Formal approaches to HW and system design have not been generally adopted, because designers often view the modelling concepts in these approaches as unsuitable for their problems...
In a multi-agent system, agents must decide what to do and by what order. Autonomy is a key notion in such a system, since it is mainly the autonomy of the agents that makes the en...
We describe a methodology that enables the real-time diagnosis of performance problems in complex high-performance distributed systems. The methodology includes tools for generati...

In protocol composition techniques, component protocols are combined in various ways to obtain a complex protocol whose execution sequences consist of interleaved execution sequen...
