In Open Multi-Agent Systems (OMAS), deciding with whom to interact is a particularly difficult task for an agent, as repeated interactions with the same agents are scarce, and rep...
In this paper we discuss an approach for simulating the behaviour of interactive software systems, before starting on any of the actual implementation, based on a model of the sys...

Abstract. We consider weighted o-minimal hybrid systems, which extend classical o-minimal hybrid systems with cost functions. These cost functions are “observer variables” whic...
