A Formal Analysis of the Global Sequence Protocol
The Global Sequence Protocol (GSP) is an operational model for replicated data stores, in which updates propagate asynchronously. We introduce the GSP-calculus as a formal model for GSP. We give a formal accou...

From Hierarchical BIP to Petri Calculus
We focus on Hierarchical BIP, an extension of Joseph Sifakis et al’s BIP component framework, to provide a semantics-preserving, compositional encoding in the Petri calculus, a recently proposed algebra of sta...

Resolving Non-determinism in Choreographies
Resolving non-deterministic choices of choreographies is a crucial task. We introduce a novel notion of realisability for choreographies –called whole-spectrum implementation– that rules out deterministic impleme...

On the Behaviour of General-Purpose Applications on Cloud Storages
Managing data over cloud infrastructures raises novel challenges with respect to existing and well studied approaches such as ACID and long running transactions. One of the main requirements is to provide avai...

Connector Algebras, Petri Nets, and BIP
In the area of component-based software architectures, the term connector has been coined to denote an entity (e.g. the communication network, middleware or infrastructure) that regulates the interaction of indep...

A Connector Algebra for P/T Nets Interactions
A quite flourishing research thread in the recent literature on component-based system is concerned with the algebraic properties of various kinds of connectors for defining well-engineered systems. In a recen...
