Chapter and Conference Paper
We extend the algebraic approach of Meseguer and Montanari from ordinary place/transition Petri nets to contextual nets, covering both the collective and the individual token philosophy uniformly along the two in...
Chapter
We show that the so-called ‘Petri nets are monoids’ approach initiated by Meseguer and Montanari can be extended from ordinary place/transition Petri nets to contextual nets by considering suitable non-free monoi...
Chapter
When employing Petri nets to model distributed systems, one must be aware that the basic activities of each component can vary in duration and can involve smaller internal activities, i.e., that transitions ar...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Since its introduction, more than a decade ago, rewriting logic has attracted the interest of both theorists and practitioners, who have contributed in showing its generality as a semantic and logical framewor...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Behavioural equivalences on open systems are usually defined by comparing system behaviour in all environments. Due to this “universal” quantification over the possible hosting environments, such equivalences ...

Chapter and Conference Paper
We present PRISMA, a parametric calculus that can be instantiated with different interaction policies, defined as synchronization algebras with mobility of names (SAMs). We define both operational semantics an...

We propose Architectural Design Rewriting (ADR), an approach to formalise the development and reconfiguration of software architectures based on term-rewriting. An architectural style consists of a set of archite...

Service-oriented computing is calling for novel computational models and languages with primitives for client-server interaction, orchestration and unexpected events handling. We present CaSPiS, a process calculu...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Compensable programs offer a convenient paradigm to deal with long-running transactions, because they offer a structured and modular approach to the composition of distributed transactional activities, like se...
