Abstract

The paper introduces a unified formal model for the complete and accurate specification of both temporal and logical (i.e., link) synchronization within hypermedia distributed and weakly synchronous systems. This new model extends time Petri nets with hierarchical design capabilities and new firing rules. These new firing rules enlighten the notion of hypermedia synchronization through powerful combinations of temporal and logical synchronization. Moreover, the proposed model offers an easy and concise modeling technique of asynchronous events in hypermedia systems
