This tutorial paper discusses a particular style of operational semantics that enables one to give a ‘syntax-directed’ inductive definition of termination which is very useful...
Abstract. We present a formal model of negotiation between autonomous agents. The purpose of the negotiation is to reach an agreement about the provision of a service by one agent ...

Abstract. This paper presents a scalable approach to reasoning formally about distributed algorithms. It uses results about I O automata to extract a set of proof obligations for s...
Abstract. As far as we know, there is no multi-agent system allowing to talk both about choices of agents or groups of agents, strategies, and about sufficiently rich actions. This...
Abstract. In this paper we present an efficient algorithm for the retrieval of the RC4 secret key, given an internal state. This algorithm is several orders of magnitude faster tha...
