Although normative systems, or social laws, have proved to be a highly influential approach to coordination in multi-agent systems, the issue of compliance to such normative syste...
t) Peter W. O’Hearn Queen Mary, University of London In the 1960s Dijkstra suggested that, in order to limit the complexity of potential process interactions, concurrent programs...
We consider compositional properties of reactive systems that are secure in a cryptographic sense. We follow the wellknown simulatability approach, i.e., the specification is an ...
Multi-agent systems where the agents are developed by parties with competing interests, and where there is no access to an agent's internal state, are often classified as `ope...
This paper presents a modeling method particularly suited to analyze interactions between Message Passing Interface MPI library execution and distributed cache coherence protocol....
