Group-oriented computation model for distributed shared memory systems

This paper describes a new group-oriented distributed shared memory (GDSM) computation model and its hardware support for improving performance in large-scale shared memory multiprocessors. The GDSM model is based on a concept of groups as basic computational units representing sets of parallel…

Associative algorithms for graphs represented as an adjacency matrix

In this paper by means of an abstract model (the STAR-machine) we study a group of associative algorithms for unweighted graphs given as an adjacency matrix. These algorithms are written as the corresponding STAR procedures whose correctness is proved and time complexity is evaluated.

Formal semantics and verification of distributed systems presented by Basic-REAL specifications

The specification language Basic-REAL consists of executional and logical specification sublanguages. The first one is based on SDL and differs from it by multiple clock concept, time intervals associated with actions, non-determinism, and rich collection of channel structures. The second one is…

Equivalences for behavioural analysis of multilevel systems

The paper is devoted to the investigation of behavioural equivalences of concurrent systems modelled by Petri nets. Back-forth and place bisimulation equivalences known from the literature are supplemented with new ones, and their relationships with basic behavioural equivalence relations are…

Model checking of time Petri nets

The intention of the paper is to develop a model checking algorithm for real time systems represented by time Petri nets and a real time extension of the branching time temporal logic CTL, called TCTL. Since time Petri nets model real time systems over dense time domain, the number of states of any…

Typed Gurevich machines revisited

An approach to combining type-structured algebraic specifications with Gurevich Machines (evolving algebras) is proposed. A type-structured algebraic specification, in its simplest form, consists of data type specifications and independent function (detached operation) specifications. Concrete and…
