We will show in this article how Tempo, a processcentered software engineering environment (SEE), assists in cooperative work by means of an approach based on a communicationmodel. We will describe the executable formalism used to de ne software engineering activities, and we will show how constraints related to the use of objects in these activities are expressed using the role concept. We wil...

Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) consist of embedded computers and networks for controlling and monitoring the physical processes associated with it. In practice, these systems are complex in nature. Also most of the CPS systems handle concurrent and real time operations and they are mostly distributed in architecture. Suitable analysis techniques need to be used in order to design and develop a CP...

Use of the Internet and the World-Wide-Web has become widespread in recent years and mobile agent technology has proliferated at an equally rapid rate.
