We consider the problem of maximizing the reliability of a series-parallel system given cost and weight constraints on the system. The number of components in each subsystem and th...
Our goal in this paper is to introduce and motivate a methodology, called Tropos,1 for building agent oriented software systems. Tropos is based on two key ideas. First, the notion...

: Most automated reasoning tasks with practical applications can be automatically reformulated into a constraint solving task. A constraint programming platform can thus act as a u...
tions at runtime. We introduce the abstract service and adapter components which allow us to separate the compensation logic from the coordination logic. In this way, we can easily...
: As Virtual Environments applications become more complex, there is a need to interpret user interaction in terms of high-level concepts. In this paper, we investigate the relatio...
