Abstract. This contribution is intended as both a course on differential geometry and an illustration of the involvement of differential geometry in the calculus of variations, in articulation with the occurrence of irreversibility. Potential applications in terms of the continuous symmetries of the constitutive laws of dissipative materials shall be mentionned, leading potentially to a systema...

This paper proposes the use of Stochastic Automata Networks (SAN) to develop models that can be efficiently applied to a large class of parallel implementations: master/slave (m/s) programs. We focus our technique in the description of the communication between master and slave nodes considering two standard behaviors: synchronous and asynchronous interactions. Although the SAN models may help ...
