Adopting Architectural Event Modules for Modular Coordination of Multiple Applications

Malakuti, Somayeh, Zia, Mariam 30 September 2015 (has links) (PDF)
Nowadays, large-scale software systems consist of multiple applications, which interact with each other to fulfill desired system-level requirements. It is usually required to coordinate the interactions of the constituent applications to ensure that the system-level requirements are fulfilled. In this paper, we outline a set of requirements that must be fulfilled to facilitate the modular composition of multiple applications. We introduce the concept of architectural event modules, which are abstractions to represent constituent applications and their coordination logic in a modular and uniform way. We explain the implementation of this concept in the EventReactor language, and define their formal semantics in processing events using the UPPAAL toolset. We illustrate the suitability of architectural event modules in achieving modularity and loose coupling in the composition of multiple applications by means of a case study in the domain of energy-efficient computing.

Nondeterminism and Language Design in Deep Inference

Kahramanogullari, Ozan 13 April 2007 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis studies the design of deep-inference deductive systems. In the systems with deep inference, in contrast to traditional proof-theoretic systems, inference rules can be applied at any depth inside logical expressions. Deep applicability of inference rules provides a rich combinatorial analysis of proofs. Deep inference also makes it possible to design deductive systems that are tailored for computer science applications and otherwise provably not expressible. By applying the inference rules deeply, logical expressions can be manipulated starting from their sub-expressions. This way, we can simulate analytic proofs in traditional deductive formalisms. Furthermore, we can also construct much shorter analytic proofs than in these other formalisms. However, deep applicability of inference rules causes much greater nondeterminism in proof construction. This thesis attacks the problem of dealing with nondeterminism in proof search while preserving the shorter proofs that are available thanks to deep inference. By redesigning the deep inference deductive systems, some redundant applications of the inference rules are prevented. By introducing a new technique which reduces nondeterminism, it becomes possible to obtain a more immediate access to shorter proofs, without breaking certain proof theoretical properties such as cutelimination. Different implementations presented in this thesis allow to perform experiments on the techniques that we developed and observe the performance improvements. Within a computation-as-proof-search perspective, we use deepinference deductive systems to develop a common proof-theoretic language to the two fields of planning and concurrency.

A Combined Formal Model for Relational Context-Dependent Roles (Extended)

Kühn , Thomas, Böhme, Stephan, Götz, Sebastian, Aßmann, Uwe 17 September 2015 (has links) (PDF)
Role-based modeling has been investigated for over 35 years as a promising paradigm to model complex, dynamic systems. Although current software systems are characterized by increasing complexity and context-dependence, all this research had almost no influence on current software development practice, still being discussed in recent literature. One reason for this is the lack of a coherent, comprehensive, readily applicable notion of roles. Researchers focused either on relational roles or context-dependent roles rather then combining both natures. Currently, there is no role-based modeling language sufficiently incorporating both the relational and context-dependent nature of roles together with the various proposed constraints. Hence, this paper formalizes a full-fledged role-based modeling language supporting both natures. To show its sufficiency and adequacy, a real world example is employed.

Expressing Context-Free Tree Languages by Regular Tree Grammars

Teichmann, Markus 29 May 2017 (has links) (PDF)
In this thesis, three methods are investigated to express context-free tree languages by regular tree grammars. The first method is a characterization. We show restrictions to context-free tree grammars such that, for each restricted context-free tree grammar, a regular tree grammar can be constructed that induces the same tree language. The other two methods are approximations. An arbitrary context-free tree language can be approximated by a regular tree grammar with a restricted pushdown storage. Furthermore, we approximate weighted context-free tree languages, induced by weighted linear nondeleting context-free tree grammars, by showing how to approximate optimal weights for weighted regular tree grammars.

Kleene-Type Results for Weighted Tree-Automata / Kleeneartige Resultate für Gewichtete Baumautomaten

Pech, Christian 08 March 2004 (has links) (PDF)
The main result of this thesis is the generalization of the Kleene-theorem to formal tree-series over commutative semirings (the Kleene theorem states the coincidence between rational and recognizable formal languages). To this end weighted tree-languages are introduced and the Kleene-theorem is proved for them. The desired result for formal tree-series is then obtained through application of a homomorphism that relates weighted tree-languages with formal tree-series. In the second part of the thesis the connections to the theorie of Iteration-theories are discovered. In particular it is shown there that the grove-theory of formal tree-series forms a partial iteration-theory. / Hauptresultat dieser Arbeit ist die Verallgemeinerung des Satzes von Kleene über die Koinzidenz der rationalen und der erkennbaren Sprachen auf den Fall der formalen Baumreihen über kommutativen Semiringen. Zu diesem Zweck werden gewichtete Baumsprachen eingeführt, da sich diese ählich den klassischen Baumsprachen verhalten. Der Satz von Kleene wird also zunächst auf den Fall der gewichteten Baumsprachen verallgemeinert. Das erstrebte Resultat wird dann durch Anwendung eines Homomorphismus', der gewichteten Baumsprachen formle Baumreihen zuordnet, erhalten. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit werden Kreuzverbindungen zur Theorie der Iterationstheorien aufgezeigt. Insbesondere wird z.B. gezeigt, dass die Grovetheorie der formalen Baumreihen eine partielle Iterationstheorie bildet.
