Abstract

In this paper we introduce time information in PAMR (Process Algebra for the Management of Resources). PAMR is a process algebra that simplifies the task of specifying processes whose behavior strongly depend on the resources that they have. One of the drawbacks of PAMR is that there is not an appropriate notion of time. In this paper we will consider that the duration of actions is controlled by a random variable. These random variables will take values, according to some probability distribution functions, that may depend, in particular, on the available resources. We present two examples showing the main features of our stochastic version of PAMR.
