Abstract. We show how to generate well-founded and stable term orderings based on polynomial interpretations over the real numbers. Monotonicity (another usual requirement in termi...
This paper summarizes the main achievements of a research whose main goal was to investigate the current state-of-art in the field of requirements engineering for COTS-based system...
Abstract. Commitments are a powerful abstraction for representing the interactions between agents. Commitments capture the content of the interactions declaratively and allow agent...
Agent-oriented software is promising improvements especially for the design of distributed systems. But currently, there is a substantial gap between the massive number of publica...
The application of hardware-parameterized models to distributed systems can result in omission of key bottlenecks such as the full cost of inter-node communication in a shared mem...
