A key challenge for agent architectures and programming paradigms is to account for defeasible reasoning over mental attitudes and to provide associated conflict resolution mechan...
This paper is about a novel rule-based approach for reasoning about qualitative spatiotemporal relations among technology-rich autonomous objects, to which we refer to as artifact...
Design defects come from poor design choices and have the effect of degrading the quality of object-oriented designs. Therefore, they present opportunities for improvements. Howev...
Multiagent Systems are potential computational systems for various practical applications, tools, and so on. Multiagent simulation is one of the remarkable application to evaluate ...
Contemporary software systems are composed of many components, which, in general, undergo phased and incremental development. In order to facilitate the corresponding construction ...
