Abstract
Augmented marked graphs possess a special structure for modelling common resources as well as some desirable properties pertaining to liveness, boundedness, reversibility and conservativeness. This paper investigates the property-preserving composition of augmented marked graphs for the synthesis of distributed systems. It is proposed that distributed system components are specified as augmented marked graphs. An integrated system is then obtained by composing these augmented marked graphs via their common resource places. Based on the preservation of properties, the liveness, boundedness, reversibility and conservativeness of the integrated system can be readily derived. This effectively solves the difficult problem of ensuring design correctness in the composition of distributed system components.
