We present the new technique of dynamic path reduction (DPR), which allows one to prune redundant paths from the state space of a program under verification. DPR is a very general...
Despite the growing research effort in formal verification, constraint-based random simulation remains an integral part of design validation, especially for large design componen...
—Emergent behavior is an essential feature in multi-agent systems and plays a significant role in the applications of agent technology. Because of the huge gap between individual...
- Ontology engineering has been proposed as a formal mechanism for both reducing the complexity of managing the information needed in network management and autonomic systems and f...
Libre (free / open source) software development is a complex phenomenon. Many actors (core developers, casual contributors, bug reporters, patch submitters, users, etc.), in many ...
