A Formal Approach to Design and Reuse Agent and Multiagent Models
While there are many useful models of agents and multi-agent systems, they are typically defined in an informal way and applied in an ad-hoc fashion. Consequently, multi-agent sys...

Bounded model checking for knowledge and real time
We present TECTLK, a logic to specify knowledge and real time in multi-agent systems. We show that the model checking problem is decidable, and we present an algorithm for TECTLK ...
