In our previous work (`An Algebraic Watchdog for Wireless Network Coding'), we proposed a new scheme in which nodes can detect malicious behaviors probabilistically, police th...
In this paper we propose a process algebra named CCB (a Calculus of Countable Broadcasting Systems). We define an observational congruence relation in CCB after basic definitions...
Obtaining performance models, like Markov chains and queueing networks, for systems of significant complexity and magnitude is a difficult task that is usually tackled using human...
Designing realistic multi-agent systems is a complex process, which involves specifying not only the functionality of individual agents, but also the authority relationships and l...
