In this paper, we propose a compositional approach to constructing correct formal models of information systems from correct models of interacting components. Component behavior is represented using workflow nets - a class of Petri nets.…
Integrated Model of Distributed Systems is used for specification and verification of distributed systems. In the formalism, a system is modeled as a set of servers' states and agents' messages. The operation of a system is modeled as…
This lecture note focuses on comparing the notions of invariance and home spaces in Transition Systems and more particularly, in Petri Nets. We also describe how linear algebra relates to these basic notions in Computer Science, how it can…
With the emergence of smart cities, Internet of Things (IoT) devices as well as deep learning technologies have witnessed an increasing adoption. To support the requirements of such paradigm in terms of memory and computation, joint and…

Computing systems, including real-time embedded systems, are becoming increasingly connected to allow for more advanced and safer operation. Such embedded systems are resource-constrained, such as lower processing capabilities, as compared…
Most existing process discovery techniques aim to mine models of process orchestrations that represent behavior of cases within one business process. Collaboration process discovery techniques mine models of collaboration processes that…
Persistent Stochastic Non-Interference (PSNI) was introduced to capture a quantitative security property in stochastic process algebras, ensuring that a high-level process does not influence the observable behaviour of a low-level…
We propose a framework for reasoning about unbounded dynamic networks of infinite-state processes. We propose Constrained Petri Nets (CPN) as generic models for these networks. They can be seen as Petri nets where tokens (representing…
The execution of different cases of a process is often restricted by inter-case dependencies through e.g., queueing or shared resources. Various high-level Petri net formalisms have been proposed that are able to model and analyze…
We consider open multi-class queueing networks with general arrival processes, general processing time sequences and Bernoulli routing. The network is assumed to be operating under an arbitrary work-conserving scheduling policy that makes…
Step net bisimulation is a coinductive behavioral relation for finite Petri nets, which is a smooth generalization of the definition of standard step bisimulation \cite{NT84} on finite Petri nets. Its induced equivalence offers an…

The situation calculus logic model is convenient for modelling the actions that can occur in an information system application. The interplay of pre-conditions and post-conditions determines a semantically justified partial order of the…
Several significant models have been developed that enable the study of diffusion of signals across biological, social and engineered networks. Within these established frameworks, the inverse problem of identifying the source of the…
Recently introduced Petri net-based formalisms advocate the importance of proper representation and management of case objects as well as their co-evolution. In this work we build on top of one of such formalisms and introduce the notion of…
Binary Neural Networks (BNNs) offer a low-complexity and energy-efficient alternative to traditional full-precision neural networks by constraining their weights and activations to binary values. However, their discrete, highly non-linear…
In this work, we propose the first framework for integrating Differential Privacy (DP) and Contextual Integrity (CI). DP is a property of an algorithm that injects statistical noise to obscure information about individuals represented…
