Modeling Time in Computing by Carlo A. Furia, Dino Mandrioli, Angelo Morzenti, Matteo Rossi.

Models that include a notion of time are ubiquitous in disciplines such as the natural sciences, engineering, philosophy, and linguistics, but in computing the abstractions provided by the traditional models are problematic and the discipline has spawned many novel models. This book is a systematic...
