We are offering a particular interpretation (well within the range of experimentally and theoretically accepted notions) of neural connectivity and dynamics and discuss it as the data-and-process architecture of the visual system. In this…
This work-in-progress paper reports on our efforts to improve different aspects of coordination in complex, component-based robotic systems. Coordination is a system level aspect concerned with commanding, configuring and monitoring…
This essay develops a theoretical framework for a semantic Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) based on the notion of semantic attractors in complex-valued meaning spaces. Departing from current transformer-based language models, which…
Reversing Petri nets (RPNs) have recently been proposed as a net-basedapproach to model causal and out-of-causal order reversibility. They are based on the notion of individual tokens that can be connected together via bonds. In this paper…
An ab-initio analysis based on coupled mode theory (CMT) is applied to describe the interaction dynamics of high dielectric resonators (DRs) with its containing aqueous solution. We prove that the coupling mechanism is reciprocal. Such…
While behavioural equivalences among systems of the same type, such as Park/Milner bisimilarity of labelled transition systems, are an established notion, a systematic treatment of relationships between systems of different type is…
Detecting the user's intent and finding the corresponding slots among the utterance's words are important tasks in natural language understanding. Their interconnected nature makes their joint modeling a standard part of training such…
Coordination languages simplify design and development of concurrent systems. Particularly, exogenous coordination languages, like BIP and Reo, enable system designers to express the interactions among components in a system explicitly. In…
Smart Cities, with their problems and challenges, is an emerging smart paradigm. To achieve better quality and usability levels, we need engineering solutions to support smart cities' soft-layer development. Statics, dynamics and generative…
Petri nets and their variants are often considered through their interleaved semantics, i.e. considering executions where, at each step, a single transition fires. This is clearly a miss, as Petri nets are a true concurrency model. This…
The lack of trust in algorithms is usually an issue when using Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents for control in real-world domains such as production plants, autonomous vehicles, or traffic-related infrastructure, partly due to the lack of…
In the paper notion of communication dualism id formalized and explained in Petri net interpretation. We consider communication dualism a basic property of communication in distributed systems. The formalization is done in the Integrated…
Complex systems of systems (SoS) are characterized by multiple interconnected subsystems. Typically, each subsystem is designed and analyzed using methodologies and formalisms that are specific to the particular subsystem model of…
Networked systems display complex patterns of interactions between a large number of components. In physical networks, these interactions often occur along structural connections that link components in a hard-wired connection topology,…
Concurrent programming is used in all large and complex computer systems. However, concurrency errors and system failures (ex: crashes and deadlocks) are common. We find that Petri nets can be used to model concurrent systems and find and…
In networks of identical linear oscillators (e.g. pendulums undergoing small vibrations) coupled through both dissipative connectors (e.g. dampers) and restorative connectors (e.g. springs) the relation between asymptotic synchronization…
A new graphical framework, Abridged Petri Nets (APNs) is introduced for bottom-up modeling of complex stochastic systems. APNs are similar to Stochastic Petri Nets (SPNs) in as much as they both rely on component-based representation of…
Understanding the dynamical behavior of complex systems from their underlying network architectures is a long-standing question in complexity theory. Therefore, many metrics have been devised to extract network features like motifs,…
We present results from numerical studies of supervised learning operations in recurrent networks considered as graphs, leading from a given set of input conditions to predetermined outputs. Graphs that have optimized their output for…
This paper describes a stand-alone, no-frills tool supporting the analysis of (labelled) place/transition Petri nets and the synthesis of labelled transition systems into Petri nets. It is implemented as a collection of independent,…
