Abstract

Among his numerous collaborations, over the last decade, Andre Scedrov has formed quite a stable research group. This would not have been possible without his leading scientific role, which has been equally measured by his generous personality, hospitality, and kindness. Among the obtained results and mathematical solutions, the group is particularly fond of real-time abstractions, called Circle-Configurations, which provide a way of handling both density as well as infinity of time in the model. Having in mind the broadness and variety of Andre Scedrov’s interests, we hope to offer here yet another view on these constructions and formal timed models, enriched with the cognitive science perspective.
