This paper proposes dynamic semantics for agent communication languages (ACLs) as a method for tackling some of the fundamental problems associated with agent communication in ope...
In this paper, we introduce a common semantic framework for developing and formally modeling use cases and task models. Use cases are the notation of choice for functional require...
The high degree of complexity and autonomy of future robotic space missions, such as Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), poses serious challenges in assuring their reliability and ef...
Program transformation techniques have reached a maturity level that allows processing high-level language sources in new ways. Not only do they revolutionize the implementation o...
SPKI/SDSI is a language for expressing distributed access control policy, derived from SPKI and SDSI. We provide a first-order logic (FOL) semantics for SDSI, and show that it ha...
