We propose a computational model that facilitates agents in a MAS to collaboratively evolve their norms to reach the best norm conventions. Our approach borrows from the social con...
Component-based software engineering attempts to address the ever increasing demand for new software applications by enabling a compositional approach to software construction in ...
We discuss research issues and models for vulnerabilities and threats in distributed computing systems. We present four diverse approaches to reducing system vulnerabilities and th...
A fundamental feature of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks is the honest collaboration among an heterogeneous community of participants. After Napster success
Computational Scientists are both creators and end-users of scientific models. Different aspects to their work target different audiences and generally require different developme...
