Higman's lemma has a very elegant, non-constructive proof due to Nash-Williams [NW63] using the so-called minimal-bad-sequence argument. The objective of the present paper is ...
We have developed a general denition of segregation in the context of Z system specications. This denition is general enough to allow multi-way communications between otherwise seg...
We present a computation model for Z, which is based on a reduction to a small calculus, called Z, and on concurrent constraint resolution techniques applied for computing in thi...
We study a class of scheduling problems which combines the structural aspects associated with task dependencies, with the dynamic aspects associated with ongoing streams of request...
We investigate planning for self-interested agents in large multi-agent simulations. We present two heuristic algorithms that exploit different domain-specific properties in order...
