Composition of dynamic components based on behavioral descriptions (2018)
Thesis
Barati, M. (2018). Composition of dynamic components based on behavioral descriptions. (Thesis). Université de Sherbrooke. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2767225

Abstract: This thesis proposes solutions to four new problems stemming from a general framework of horizontal behavior composition, in which transition systems are used to model behaviors. The framework allows the realization of a new behavior from a... Read More about Composition of dynamic components based on behavioral descriptions.
