In this article we analyze the combination of ACOhg, a new metaheuristic algorithm, plus partial order reduction applied to the problem of finding safety property violations in co...
Conventional methods for state space exploration are limited to the analysis of small systems because they suffer from excessive memory and computational requirements. We have dev...

Abstract. Engineering non-trivial open multi-agent systems is a challenging task. Our research focusses on situated multi-agent systems, i.e. systems in which agents are explicitly...

We initiate the study of error confinement in distributed applications, where the goal is that only nodes that were directly hit by a fault may deviate from their correct external...
—The paper discusses how Petri nets may be used for the qualitative modeling of physical systems. The qualitative state of a system is represented by the marking of the net. The ...
