Communication-Based Systems: Proceeding of the 3rd International Workshop held at the TU Berlin, Germany, 31 March - 1 April 2000

by Günter Hommel (Editor)

Overview

This workshop on Communication-Based Systems is intended to present the research results of students of the Graduiertenkolleg 'Communication-Based Systems' to an international community. To stimulate the scientific discussion, renowned experts were invited to give their views on the following research areas: Formal specification and mathematical foundations of distributed systems using process algebra, graph transformations, process calculi, and temporal logics; Performance evaluation, dependability modeling, and analysis of real-time systems with different kinds of timed Petri-Nets; Specification and analysis of communication prools; Reliability, security, and dependability in distributed systems; Object orientation in distributed systems architecture; Software development and concepts for distributed applications; Computer network architecture and management; Language concepts for distributed systems.
