The problem of representing and reasoning about two notions of time that are relevant in the context of knowledge bases is addressed. These are called historical time and belief t...
We present a method of distributed model checking of multiagent systems specified by a branching-time temporal-epistemic logic. We introduce a serial algorithm, central to the dis...

We introduce transactors, a fault-tolerant programming model for composing loosely-coupled distributed components running in an unreliable environment such as the internet into sy...
stractions underlying distributed computing. We attempted to keep our preaims at an abstract and general level. In this column, we make those claims more concrete. More precisely, ...
