Abstract

We are concerned with the problem of defining a complex, hybrid, agent based discrete system in a modular way. Themodularity results from looking at the system from a number of different perspectives, each dealing with a specific aspect of the system. As a solution a synchronization operator is proposed which glues agent aware systems on shared agents and transitions. The construction turns out to be a categorical product. We also show that a logic to talk about the temporal and the structural properties of the product can be obtained by gluing suitable logical frameworks from the components.
