Achieved Results:


The work this year was mostly spent in the programming of a prototype tool implementing the partitioning of transition for analysis of mixed A/S systems. Theoretical foundations were described in the first year's deliverable.

We refined our proposed algorithms and the detailed method was presented at the IWLS'98 workshop in Lake Tahoe this year.

The transition relation is partititioned across two levels : an inner synchronous level where partitioning follows ``classical'' division according to boolean control registers; an outer level where partitioning is divided according to global actions (or events), more in the lines of process algebras. Of course here the behaviours of single components can be more complex than a simple synchronisation offer, which accounts for the main issue in combining local behaviours correctly into global ones.
