Contract automata allow to formally define the behaviour of service contracts in terms of service offers and requests, some of which are moreover optional and some of which are necessary. A composition of contracts is said to be in…

Choreography automata are an automata-based model of choreographies, that we show to be a compositional one. Choreography automata represent global views of choreographies (and rely on the well-known model of communicating finite-state…

Arranging music for a different set of instruments that it was originally written for is traditionally a tedious and time-consuming process, performed by experts with intricate knowledge of the specific instruments and involving significant…

An effective, accessible abstraction hierarchy has made using and programming computers possible for people across all disciplines. Establishing such a hierarchy for quantum programming is an outstanding challenge, especially due to a…

New families of fourth-order composition methods for the numerical integration of initial value problems defined by ordinary differential equations are proposed. They are designed when the problem can be separated into three parts in such a…
