Quality control lead times are one of most significant causes of loss of time in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. This is partly due to the organization of laboratories that feature parallel multipurpose machines for…
This paper introduces the counterpart of strong bisimilarity for labelled transition systems extended with time-out transitions. It supports this concept through a modal characterisation, congruence results for a standard process algebra…
We develop a computational approach to Metric Answer Set Programming (ASP) to allow for expressing quantitative temporal constraints, like durations and deadlines. A central challenge is to maintain scalability when dealing with…
In this paper, we propose several models, which can realize synchronization of complex networks in finite time effectively. The results apply to heterogeneous dynamic networks, too. The mechanism of finite time convergence is revealed.…
This paper provides an adaptation of branching bisimilarity to reactive systems with time-outs that does not enable eliding of time-out transitions. Multiple equivalent definitions are procured, along with a modal characterisation and a…
The language Timed Concurrent Constraint (tccp) is the extension over time of the Concurrent Constraint Programming (cc) paradigm that allows us to specify concurrent systems where timing is critical, for example reactive systems. Systems…
The paper presents the differential equations that characterize an asynchronous automaton and gives their solution x:R->{0,1}x...x{0,1}. Remarks are made on the connection between the continuous time and the discrete time of the approach.…
We propose Markov two-components processes (M2CP) as a probabilistic model of asynchronous systems based on the trace semantics for concurrency. Considering an asynchronous system distributed over two sites, we introduce concepts and tools…
This paper considers parallel machine scheduling with incompatibilities between jobs. The jobs form a graph and no two jobs connected by an edge are allowed to be assigned to the same machine. In particular, we study the case where the…
We identify the algebraic structure of the material histories generated by concurrent processes. Specifically, we extend existing categorical theories of resource convertibility to capture concurrent interaction. Our formalism admits an…
The Cognitive Theory of True Conditions (CTTC) is a proposal to design the implementation of cognitive abilities and to describe the model-theoretic semantics of symbolic cognitive architectures. The CTTC is formulated mathematically using…
We present a novel asynchronous hyper linear time temporal logic named LPrL (Linear Time Predicate Logic) and establish its basic theory. LPrL is a natural first order extension of LTL (Linear time temporal logic), in which the predicates…
In most presentations of ACP with guarded recursion, recursive specifications are finite or infinite sets of recursion equations of which the right-hand sides are guarded terms. The completeness with respect to bisimulation equivalence of…
Concurrent pattern calculus (CPC) drives interaction between processes by comparing data structures, just as sequential pattern calculus drives computation. By generalising from pattern matching to pattern unification, interaction becomes…
This article belongs to a subject, Directed Algebraic Topology, whose general aim is including non-reversible processes in the range of topology and algebraic topology. Here, as a further step, we also want to cover "critical processes",…
Linear logic Concurrent Constraint programming (LCC) is an extension of concurrent constraint programming (CC) where the constraint system is based on Girard's linear logic instead of the classical logic. In this paper we address the…
We have unified quantum and classical computing in open quantum systems called qACP which is a quantum generalization of process algebra ACP. But, an axiomatization for quantum and classical processes with an assumption of closed quantum…
This paper proposes a general formulation for temporal parallelisation of dynamic programming for optimal control problems. We derive the elements and associative operators to be able to use parallel scans to solve these problems with…
Concurrent data structures serve as fundamental building blocks for concurrent computing. Many concurrent counterparts have been designed for basic sequential mechanisms; however, one notable omission is a concurrent tree that supports…
An algebra of actors $\textrm{A}\pi$ fully captures the properties of actors based on asynchronous $\pi$-calculus, but, it is based on the interleaving bisimulation semantics. We adjust $\textrm{A}\pi$ to $\textrm{A}\pi_{tc}$ to make…
