: Perhaps the two most significant theoretical questions about the programming of self-assembling agents are: (1) necessary and sufficient conditions to produce a unique terminal a...
This paper provides a general mechanism and a solid theoretical basis for performing planning within Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents. BDI agent systems have emerged as one of...
We present the rst type reconstruction system which combines the implicit typing of ML with the full power of the explicitly typed second-order polymorphic lambda calculus. The sy...
We report our experience with exploring a new point in the design space for formal reasoning systems: the development of the programming language mega. mega is intended as both a ...
SOCK is a process calculus for the modeling of Service Oriented systems recently extended with primitives for dynamic fault and compensation handling. In this paper we investigate...
