The liveness characteristics of a system are intimately related to the notion of fairness. However, the task of explicitly modelling fairness constraints is complicated in practice...
Abstract. In this paper we combine rewriting techniques with verification issues. More precisely, we show how techniques for proving relative termination of term rewrite systems (...
We study two properties of coalition formation algorithms, very important for their application in real-life scenarios: robustness and tolerance to some agent misbehaviors. The st...
Abstract. We present a fixpoint semantics of event systems. The semantics is presented in a general framework without concerns of fairness. Soundness and completeness of rules for...
-- In this paper we analyze P2P live streaming systems. Through this analysis we obtain the crucial parameters for their performance in terms of bandwidth utilization, set-up time,...
