Abstract. Protocols that govern the interactions between software components are a popular means to support the construction of correct component-based systems. Previous studies ha...
While there are many useful models of agents and multi-agent systems, they are typically defined in an informal way and applied in an ad-hoc fashion. Consequently, multi-agent sys...

We present a foundational theory of software system reliability based on components. The theory describes how component developers can design and test their components to produce ...
Abstract. Design and development of information retrieval IR systems is a complex and expensive process. In the process of building an IR system, developers need to explore a lar...
We present a formal model for concurrent systems. The model represents synchronous and asynchronous components in a uniform framework that supports compositional (assume-guarantee)...
