It is often believed that the performance of ant system, and in general of ant colony optimization algorithms, depends somehow on the scale of the problem instance at hand. The iss...
In the past decades, many formal frameworks (e.g. timed automata and temporal logics) and techniques (e.g. model checking and theorem proving) have been proposed to model a real-ti...

: We concentrate on two major aspects of reactive system design: behavior control and modularity. These are studied from a formal point of view, within the framework of action syst...
Semantics represents a major problem area for active databases inasmuch as (i) there is l framework for defining the abstract semantics of active rules, and (ii) the various syst...
This paper discusses fundamentals of hybrid system modelling. Emphazis is put on compositionality and the use of multiform time. Compositionality refers to the ability of freely co...
