Course Title MODELING TIME IN COMPUTING
Course Type Mono-Disciplinary Course
Credits (CFU / ECTS) 5.0
Semester --
Course Description Models including a notion of time are ubiquitous in the natural sciences and engineering, and they also received the attention of philosophers, linguists, and other scholars. It is in computing, however, where the abstractions provided by the traditional models of time of the physical sciences can be unbecoming. To bridge this hiatus between abstractions, computer science research has been quite prolific in spawning novel models of time. This course presents the state of the art in this area, including some historical perspective and not omitting the occasional controversial aspects. The goal is to help students develop a solid understanding of the problems related with the analysis of phenomena and processes whose behavior critically depends on timing aspects. The main topics covered by the course are (tentatively): - Key issues that arise when modeling time across every type of system. - Critical review of traditional ways to deal with time in science, engineering and computer science -State of the art approaches to modeling time and related analysis techniques: Operational formalisms: --Synchronous machines based on finite state automata: timed and stochastic extensions --Asynchronous formalisms: Petri nets; timed and stochastic extensions Logic formalisms for time modeling --Hints on algebraic approaches and dual language approaches.
