Abstract. Peer-oriented computing is an attempt to weave interconnected machines into the fabric of the Internet. Service-oriented computing (exemplified by web-services), on the ...
Abstract. The Abstract State Machines (ASM) methodology is a methodology for formally specifying computing systems. We use the ASM methodology to give the dynamic semantics of the ...
We develop an imperative calculus that provides a formal model for both single and mixin inheritance. By introducing classes and mixins as the basic object-oriented constructs in a...
We present two models of hierarchical structured multi-agents, and we describe how to obtain a modal knowledge base from distributed sources. We then propose a computationally orie...
constraint solver. The other infers annotations on bound variables in function abstractions by propagating type constraints downward from enclosing application nodes. We motivate o...
