The CCS (Calculus of Communicating Systems) process algebra is a well-known formal model of synchronization and communication. It is used for the analysis of safety and liveness i...
The salient feature of the composition operators for Gamma programs is that for termination, the parallel composition operator demands that its operands must terminate synchronous...
We consider the problem of how an agent's knowledge can be updated. We propose a formal method of knowledge update on the basis of the semantics of modal logic S5. In our met...
Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is a promising paradigm for development. It raises the level of abstraction in software development by treating models as primary artifacts. The prac...
In this paper, we present a formal model, named PobSAM (Policy-based Self-Adaptive Model), for modeling self-adaptive systems. In this model, policies are used as a mechanism to d...
