We introduce a unifying framework to provide the semantics of process algebras, including
their quantitative variants useful for modeling quantitative aspects of behaviors. The unifying …

The model-checking approach was originally formulated for verifying qualitative properties
of systems, for example safety and liveness (see Chap. 2), and subsequently extended to …

The current study aimed to assess the antioxidant and antiproliferative effects of teucrium
polium extract: computational and in vivo study in rats. Three groups of animals: Group (i) …

Markov automata describe systems in terms of events which may be nondeterministic, may
occur probabilistically, or may be subject to time delays. We define a novel notion of weak …

Software architecture specifications are used for many different purposes, such as
documenting architectural decisions, predicting architectural qualities before the system is …

Context: Software architecture refactoring can be induced by multiple reasons, such as
satisfying new functional requirements or improving non-functional properties. Multi …

In this paper we analyse a swarm robotics system using Bio-PEPA. Bio-PEPA is a process
algebra language originally developed to analyse biochemical systems. A swarm robotics …

Collective adaptive systems (CAS) often adopt cooperative operating strategies to run
distributed decision-making mechanisms. Sometimes, their effectiveness massively relies on …

Labeled transition systems are typically used as behavioral models of concurrent processes.
Their labeled transitions define a one-step state-to-state reachability relation. This model …

The theory of noninterference supports the analysis and the execution of secure
computations in multi-level security systems. Classical equivalence-based approaches to …
