: IC technologies are approaching the ultimate limits of silicon in terms of channel width, power supply and speed. By approaching these limits, circuits are becoming increasingly ...
The design of complex systems is largely ruled by the time needed for verification. Even though formal methods can provide higher reliability, in practice often simulation based ve...
Comprehending and analyzing agent behavior is an arduous task due to complexities in agent systems and sophistication of agent behaviors, in addition to the common difficulties wi...
Meta modeling is a wide-spread technique to define visual languages, with the UML being the most prominent one. Despite several advantages of meta modeling such as ease of use, the...
The first part of the paper develops a novel, sortally-based approach to the problem of aspectual composition. The account is argued to be superior on both empirical and computati...
