TvF Semilinear sets are exactly those that can be expressed by
 Presburger Arithmetic. As many interesting problems concerning
 Presburger Arithmetic (including membership, equivalence
 and containment) are decidable, semilinear sets have
 found interesting applications in a  variety of areas in
 computer sciences.  In this talk, we first survey some of the
 properties and results  concerning semilinear sets, and
 then see how they can be applied to the analysis of concurrent
 systems. In the second part of this talk, we focus on a
 restricted class called upward-closed sets. Although it is
 known that any upward-closed set exhibits a finite number of
 minimal elements, such elements, however, may not be
 computable in general. We demonstrate conditions under which
 the set of minimal elements of an upward-closed set
 is not only computable, but more importantly, a bound for
 the size of  the minimal elements can also be deduced.
 Some applications regarding  this characterization
 of upward-closed sets are given.
