Abstract--Most work on adaptive workflows offers insufficient flexibility to enforce complex policies regarding dynamic, evolvable and robust workflows. In addition, many proposed ...
Modeling and analysis of program behavior are at the foundation of computer system design and optimization. As computer systems become more adaptive, their efficiency increasingly...
When developping multi-agent systems (MAS) or models in the context of agent-based simulation (ABS), the tuning of the model constitutes a crucial step of the design process. Inde...
