Two remote agents with synchronized clocks may use them to act in concert and communicate. This necessitates some means of creating and maintaining synchrony. One method, not requiring any direct interaction between the agents, is to expose…
Synchronization is a widespread phenomenon observed across natural and artificial networked systems. It often manifests itself by clusters of units exhibiting coincident dynamics. These clusters are a direct consequence of the organization…
We study interacting components and their compatibility with respect to synchronous and asynchronous composition. The behavior of components is formalized by I/O-transition systems. Synchronous composition is based on simultaneous execution…

Distributed control algorithms are known to reduce overall computation time compared to centralized control algorithms. However, they can result in inconsistent solutions leading to the violation of safety-critical constraints. Inconsistent…

Asynchronous programming is widely adopted for building responsive and efficient software, and modern languages such as C# provide async/await primitives to simplify the use of asynchrony. In this paper, we propose an approach for…
A reset controller plays a crucial role in designing hybrid systems. It restricts the initial set and redefines the reset map associated with discrete transitions, in order to guarantee the system to achieve its objective. Reset controller…
Deadline misses are more common in real-world systems than one may expect. The weakly-hard task model has become a standard abstraction to describe and analyze how often these misses occur, and has been especially used in control…
