Abstract :
Previous work on asynchronous communication mechanisms (ACMs) has not dealt with buffered forms (n > l). This paper describes a systematic design/synthesis process for ACMs with arbitrary buffer size, a series of resulting buffered ACM algorithms, and the modelling and simulation of these ACMs using Matlab, putting ACMs (esp. buffered ones) in the context of complex engineering systems.
