Abstract. Argumentation-based formalisms provide a way of considering the defeasible nature of reasoning with partial and often erroneous knowledge in a given environment. This pro...
Abstract. The design of critical embedded real-time systems requires high confidence in the architecture and the implemented functionalities. Classically, such functions are suppor...
Abstract. Failures are unavoidable in many circumstances. For example, an agent may fail at some point to perform a task in a dynamic environment. Robust systems typically have mec...
Abstract. We present and discuss a formal, high-level approach to the specification and composition of interaction protocols for service-oriented systems. This work is being develo...
Abstract. Semidefinite relaxations are known to deliver good approximations for combinatorial optimization problems like graph bisection. Using the spectral bundle method it is pos...
