1 Step-wise refinement (SWR) asserts that complex programs can be derived from simple programs by progressively adding features. The length of a program specification is the number...
We present a model and protocol for anonymous credentials. Rather than using deterrents to ensure non-transferability, our model uses secure hardware with biometric authentication...
We apply the multi-agent system (MAS) platform to the task of biological network simulation. In this paper, we describe the simulation of signal transduction (ST) networks using t...
