The key to simplifying development and execution of large and complex distributed systems is provzding adequate development environment and runtime facilities for supporting cooperation, reliabzlity and dynamic adaptation. This paper focuses on analytical tools that assist in development of complex systems. The environment allows scalable specification of complex application behavior using mechanisms for abstracting group behavior and hierarchical composition of components. Behavior specification of applications can be analyzed automatically for two classes of problems: (1) reachability and liveness, and (2) consistency during failure recovery and dynamic adaptation. Consistency is preserved by automatically analyzing dependencies from behavior specification. This approach permits components of a complex system to cooperate in complex ways, and execute continuously for a long time with minimal disruption, despite failure or adaptation of some components.

Over the past sixteen years, newspaper PCSs (Production Control Systems) have been developed to support newspaper production, so that newspaper publishers can ofer the most up to date information to the greatest possible number of readers in a timely manner while keepingproduction costs low. Up to now, the chief goal has been to produce a predetermined number of copies of a stylized newspaper (using a set layout and set number of pages) as eflciently and accurately as possible. However, in today's information-oriented society, readers and advertising clients have come to expect low cost newspapers that reflect their various interests and demands. To satisJL these, a PCS should aim at providing a reliable and flexible production system that allows immediate changes in format and circulation volume according to article contents, as well as coordinated production (printing and delivery) between locally distributed printing plants.In this paper, a new newspaper PCS architecture and data-processing ana' networking techniques are discussed based on an autonomous decentralized system (ADS). The architecture provides a system that allows flexible change of the production schedule, while ensuring reliability, because it has autonomous Jiltering functions that distinguish between dyerent kinds of data, namely control data and man-machine data. The Asahi Shimbun newspaper company currently uses this highly efective system in its Setagaya printing plant.
