Introduction to Deliverable D23

This deliverable groups papers that have been realized on topics covered by QMIPS, but corresponding to deliverables already formally delivered.

Most of these papers turn out to be the outcome of successful exchanges of personnel, problems and methods between QMIPS groups.

For instance, papers D6-5 and D6-6 shows how the analytical techniques mastered at CWI can be applied to the analysis of G-networks, developed at EHE.

Likewise, paper D14-5 shows the mutual impact of the ``Petri Net'' point of view and ``Process Algebra'' point of view on the representation and analysis of some parallel systems.
