Jackson networks have been very successful in so many areas in modeling parallel and distributed systems. However, the ability of Jackson networks to predict performance with system changes remains an open question, since Jackson networks do not apply to systems where there are population size constraints. Also, the product-form solution of Jackson networks assumes steady state systems exponent...

The Jackson Development Methods are JSP (Jackson Structured Programming) and JSD (Jackson System Development). JSP is a method for designing programs as compositions of sequential processes; JSD is a method for specifying and designing systems whose application domain has a strong temporal flavour and contains objects whose behaviour is describable in terms of sequences of events. Many program ...

Although in the realm of artificial language it is possible to construct languages that do not comprise expressions that are at once both ambiguous and semantically legal, some artificial languages, and all natural languages, present ambiguous constructs that are nonetheless semantically legal expressions accepted by the language. We introduce the §-calculus (meta-S), a declarative adaptive par...
