This paper describes West2East, a Computer-Aided Agent-Oriented Software Engineering toolkit aimed at supporting the implementation of multiagent systems. West2East exploits langua...
Product Distribution (PD) theory was recently developed as a framework for analyzing and optimizing distributed systems. In this paper we demonstrate its use for adaptive distribu...
Abstract. While there has been a great deal of work on the development of reasoning algorithms for expressive description logics, in most cases only Tbox reasoning is considered. I...
