Optimizing queries that involve operations on spatial data requires estimating the selectivity and cost of these operations. In this paper, we focus on estimating the cost of spat...
It is well known that the evolution of cooperative behaviour is dependant upon certain environmental conditions. One such condition that has been extensively studied is the use of ...
Abstract. We present an approach for the verication of spatial properties with Spin. We rst extend one of Spin's main property specication mechanisms, i.e., the linear-time...
In this paper, we present a multi-layered architecture for spatial and temporal agents. The focus is laid on the declarativity of the approach, which makes agent scripts expressive...

Abstract. Formal methods based on the mathematical theory of partially ordered sets (i.e., posets) have been used in the database field for the modelling of spatial data since many...
