Consider a multiple-agent transition system such that, for some basic types T1, . . . , Tn, the state of any agent can be represented as an element of the Cartesian product T1 ×·...
Novel ubiquitous computing applications such as intelligent vehicles, smart buildings, and traffic management require special properties that traditional computing applications d...
The notion that certain procedures are atomic provides a valuable partial specification for many multithreaded software systems. Several existing tools verify atomicity by showing...
