In an open system, multi-agent computations must compete for resources required for satisfying their goals. We describe CyberOrgs, a hierarchical model for acquisition and control...
The ability to accurately predict the lifetime of building components is crucial to optimizing building design, material selection and scheduling of required maintenance. This pap...
Nowadays container terminals are struggling with a continuously increasing volume. Therefore, they are searching for solutions to increase throughput capacity without expanding th...
Reasoning on precedence relations is crucial for many planning and scheduling systems. In this paper we propose a double precedence graph where direct precedence relations are kep...
: Models from methods like Contextual Design (CD) are a sound basis for requirements engineering. But current software engineering processes are not prepared to use such models. To...
