Abstract

The IMDS formalism (Chrobot and Daszczuk 2006; Daszczuk 2008) is designed to describe closed systems, i.e., systems in which the behavior does not depend upon external events.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The term “state” is reserved for elements of the set P.

  2. 2.

    Other semantics is also available, for example “maximum concurrency” semantics in which multiple possible actions are fired at a time.

  3. 3.

    Thus, Λ is not strictly a relation, because it contains both quadruples and triples. More formally, a message “agent termination” may be added to M, which is prohibited on input of any action.

  4. 4.

    This form of graphical specification will be a basis for definition of Distributed Automata DA3 in Chap. 8.
