Event analytics

The process analysis toolkit (PAT) integrates the expressiveness of state, event, time, and probability-based languages with the power of model checking. PAT is a self-contained reasoning system for system specification, simulation, and verification. PAT currently supports a wide range of 12 different expressive modeling languages with many application domains and has attracted thousands of registered users from hundreds of organizations. In this invited talk, we will present the PAT system and its vision on “Event Analytics” (EA) which is beyond “Data Analytics”. The EA research is based on applying model checking to event planning, scheduling, prediction, strategy analysis and decision making. Various new EA research directions will be discussed.No Full Tex

Mobile CSP||B

CSP||B is a combination of CSP and B in which CSP processes are used as control executives for B machines. This architecture enables a B machine and its controller to interact and communicate with each other while working in parallel. The architecture has focused on sequential CSP processes as dedicated controllers for B machines. This paper introduces Mobile CSP||B, a formal framework based on CSP||B which enables us to specify and verify concurrent systems with mobile architecture instead of the previous static architecture. In Mobile CSP||B, a parallel combination of CSP processes act as the control executive for the B machines and these B machines can be transferred between CSP processes during the system execution. The paper introduces the foundations of the approach, and illustrates the result with an example
