Multi-agent simulations aim at representing the dynamics of complex systems as resulting from multiple interactions between autonomous entities including their own perception of lo...
Abstract. We describe an approach to designing and implementing a distributed system as a family of related finite state machines, generated from a single abstract model. Various a...

Design traceability has been widely recognized as being an integral aspect of software development. In the past years this fact has been amplified due to the increased use of lega...
The growing size and complexity of systems has revealed many shortcomings of existing software engineering practices, for example, lack of scalability. This in turn raised interes...
Abstract. In the context of Services Oriented Architecture (Soa), complex systems are realized through the design of business–driven processes. Since the design of a complete pro...
