Towards multi-level modeling of self-assembling intelligent micro-systems
We investigate and model the dynamics of two-dimensional stochastic self-assembly of intelligent micro-systems with minimal requirements in terms of sensing, actuation, and contro...

A computational model of achievement motivation for artificial agents
Computational models of motivation are tools that artificial agents can use to autonomously identify, prioritize, and select the goals they will pursue. Previous research has focu...

Parameterized Memory Models and Concurrent Separation Logic
Formal reasoning about concurrent programs is usually done with the assumption that the underlying memory model is sequentially consistent, i.e. the execution outcome is equivalen...

A Logic Framework for a Semantics of Object-Oriented Data Modeling
We describe a (meta) formalism for defining a variety of (object oriented) data models in a unified framework based on a variation of first-order logic. As specific example we use...

A Recursive Model-Reduction Method for Approximate Inference in Gaussian Markov Random Fields
This paper presents recursive cavity modeling--a principled, tractable approach to approximate, near-optimal inference for large Gauss-Markov random fields. The main idea is to su...
