This paper argues that basing the semantics of concurrent systems on the notions of state and state transitions is neither advisable nor necessary. The tendency to do this is deepl...
We present a coordination language and its semantics for specification and implementation of object-oriented realtime systems. Real-time systems operate under real-time constraint...
Abstract. We introduce a visual notation for local specification of concurrent components based on message sequence charts (MSCs). Each component is a finite-state machine whose ...
Agents in an open system interact with each other based on (typically, published) protocols. An agent may, however, deviate from the protocol because of its internal policies. Such...
Abstract. In most case-based reasoning (CBR) systems there has been little research done on validating new knowledge, specifically on how previous knowledge differs from current k...
