Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Reiner Hähnle - leader of the the research group "Software Engineering" at the TU Darmstadt, will give a presentation on the topic
"Simulation with Active Object Languages"
as part of the VAC Colloquium.
Afterwards we look forward to discussions while enjoying coffee and cookies.
The event is open to anyone interested.
Abstract:
Active Objects are an increasingly popular programming language paradigm, characterized by asynchronous task execution, strong data encapsulation, and explicit synchronization to minimize data races. We discuss, as a representative example, the Active Object language ABS and illustrate how it is used in different simulation scenarios. ABS has extensions for timed as well as for hybrid systems. Together with a high level of abstraction, this makes it an interesting candidate for simulation models.
