Embedded software requires concurrency formalisms other than threads and mutexes used in traditional programming languages like C. Actor-oriented design presents a high level abstr...
The key problem in applying verification techniques such as model checking to agent architectures is to show how to map systematically from an agent program to a model structure t...
Counterexamples explain why a desired temporal logic property fails to hold, and as such are considered to be the most useful form of output from model-checkers. Multi-valued model...
: Compliance management tackles issues related to both modelling and enforcement of business constraints in enterprises. In the context of business process management, we propose a...
In this paper, we show how to establish correctness and time bounds (e.g., quality of service guarantees) for multi-agent systems composed of communicating rule-based agents. The f...
