abstract:
In this talk we discuss some relevant issues concerned with
modelling formalisms that have a notion of time. We discuss why is it
useful to have an explicit notion of time, the difference between
"physical" time and "logical" time, some existing formalisms and
languages that deal with time, and basic properties that formalisms
usually assume with respect to time. We also present the core of a
language for concurrent systems that deals with time explicitly and we
show an application in traffic modelling.
