State Machines Proposed by Gurevich [58], abstract state machines (ASM), also called evolving algebras, form a specification language in which the notions of state and state transformation are central. A system is described in this formalism by the definition of states and by a finite set of (possibly non-deterministic) state transition rules, which describe the conditions (also called guards) ...

By means of a new "quick-sampling" method, micropellets of mouse liver mitochondria were rapidly prepared for electron microscopy during the recording of steady state metabolism. Reversible ultrastructural changes were found to accompany change in metabolic steady states. The most dramatic reversible ultrastructural change occurs when ADP is added to systems in which only phosphate acceptor is ...

This paper models a multibody collision in the impulse space as a state transition diagram, where each state represents a phase during which impacts are “active” at only a subset of the contact points. A state transition happens whenever an active impact finishes restitution, or an inactive impact gets reactivated, depending on whether the two involved bodies are instantaneously penetrating int...

Mainstream object modelling techniques use Statechart Diagrams as a means of modelling object behaviour. Research into how statecharts can be used in the context of class generalization hierarchies has focused on applying the Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) to statecharts. This approach is problematic, and we describe three reservations. We propose an alternative approach based on mixin-sty...

The paging signaling overhead is occurred in Paging extensions for Mobile IP(P-MIP) which was proposed to reduce registration signaling overhead of Mobile IP(MIP). And quick paging IP scheme using residence pattern of mobile user(QP-MIP) is proposed to overcome the above inefficiency. To the exact analysis of QP-MIP and P-MIP, the Mobile Node(MN) state transition behavior is modeled and the ste...

A recursive attack is presented that is applicable to synchronous stream ciphers consisting of a finite state machine with a linear state-transition function and a multiplexer as output function. A variant of this attack can be used to build a cheap system that bypasses on-line the scrambling of video signals as advised in [1] . 1 The Attacked System The scrambler can be described by a finite s...
