Playing with Our CAT and Communication-Centric Applications [PDF]
, 2016 We describe CAT, a toolkit supporting the analysis of communication-centric applications, i.e., applications consisting of ensembles of interacting services. Services are modelled in CAT as contract automata and communication safety is defined in terms of agreement properties.

Rich Club Organization and Intermodule Communication in the Cat Connectome [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 Macroscopic brain networks have been shown to display several properties of an efficient communication architecture. In light of global communication, the formation of a densely connected neural "rich club" of hubs is of particular interest, because brain hubs have been suggested to play a key role in enabling short communication pathways within neural
