A smooth orchestrator is a process with several alternative branches, every one defining synchronizations among co-located channels. Smooth orchestrators constitute a basic mechani...
Abstract. We define a new class of hybrid automata for which reachability is decidable--a proper superclass of the initialized rectangular hybrid automata--by taking parallel compo...
Abstract. Much research has focused on the problem of knowledge accessibility, sharing and reuse. Specific languages (e.g. KIF, CG, RDF) and ontologies have been proposed. Common c...
Many bacteria carry gene complexes that code for a toxin-antidote pair, e.g. colicin systems. Such gene complexes can be advantageous for its host by killing competitor bacteria wh...
Abstract. This article considers the link between theory and practice in agentoriented programming. We begin by rigorously defining a new formal specification language for autono...
