Traditionally, top-down and bottom-up design approaches have competed with each other in Algorithmics and Software Engineering. In the top-down approach, design process starts wit...
We present TECTLK, a logic to specify knowledge and real time in multi-agent systems. We show that the model checking problem is decidable, and we present an algorithm for TECTLK ...
This paper presents a content-dependent and configurable framework for the network processing of documents. Like existing compound document frameworks, it enables an enriched docu...
The paper reports on the formal framework to design strategies for multi-issue non-symmetric meaning negotiations among software agents in a distributed information retrieval syste...
Building conversation protocols has traditionally been an art more than a science, as their construction is often guided by designers’ intuition rather than by a principled appro...
