Abstract.Increasing sizes of present-day distributed software systems call for coordination models which are both modular and scalable. Precise modelling of real-life applications further requires the notion of real-time.In this paper, we present a modular formal development of a compositional model for real-time coordination in dataflow networks. While real-time dataflow networks are typically asynchronous, our approach includes coordination patterns which combine, but are not limited to, synchrony and asynchrony. We define a constraint-and SAT-based encoding, which allows us to benefit from high-end constraint solving techniques when inspecting valid interactions of the system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
