Abstract. Laboratory investigations have shown that a formal theory of fault-tolerance will be essential to harness nanoscale self-assembly as a medium of computation. Several rese...
— There is a long history of investigations and debates on whether a sequence of retiming and resynthesis is complete for all sequential transformations (on steady states). It ha...
Smart environments (e.g., airports, hospitals, stadiums, and other physical spaces using ubiquitous computing to empower many mobile people) provide novel challenges for usability...
—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...
The combination of first-order epistemic logic and formal cryptography offers a potentially very powerful framework for security protocol verification. In this article, we addre...
