A primary goal in the design of wireless sensor networks is lifetime maximization, constrained by the energy capacity of batteries. One well known method to reduce energy consumpt...
In this paper, we show how to establish correctness and time bounds (e.g., quality of service guarantees) for multi-agent systems composed of communicating rule-based agents. The f...
Abstract. We introduce the notion of tamper-evidence for mix networks in order to defend against attacks aimed at covertly leaking secret information held by corrupted mix servers....
Model-checking has turned out to be an efficient and relatively easy-to-use technique in the verification of formally described programs. However, there is one major drawback in u...
Abstract. Workflow management systems will change the architecture of future information systems dramatically. The explicit representation of business procedures is one of the main...
