About the Project

As a result of the global interconnectivity ensured by the Web, and the availability of new distributed infrastructures such as service-oriented and cloud architectures, the new landscape of systems that are operating in cyber-space is that of multi-layered networks of systems where execution at the network nodes, which could be triggered by humans or performed by programmed devices, enable the spontaneous evolution of network links. The main aim of the project is to develop algebraic models and logics through which dynamic networks of interactions can be formally specified and analysed in relation to properties that they are required to satisfy. Case studies can be developed in different application domains.
