Abstract--We believe that agent-oriented programming languages and multi-agent programming technologies provide an effective level of abstraction for tackling the design and progra...
Predicate abstraction has been proved effective for verifying several infinite-state systems. In predicate abstraction, an abstract system is automatinstructed given a set of predi...
Simplified soft tissue models used in surgical simulations cannot perfectly reproduce all material behaviors. In particular, many tissues exhibit the Poynting effect, which resul...
Schedulability analysis of real-time embedded systems requires worst case timing guarantees of embedded software performance. This involves not only language level program analysi...
Anticipation and prediction have been identified as key functions of many brain areas facilitating recognition, perception, and planning. In this chapter we present a hierarchical ...
