A MAS architecture consisting of service centers is proposed. Within each service center, a mediator coordinates service delivery by allocating individual tasks to corresponding t...
Building artificial systems using self-assembly is one of the main issues of artificial life [17]. Scientists are trying to understand this process either using experimental appro...
Abstract. We define and study formal privacy guarantees for information integration systems, where sources are related to a public schema by mappings given by source-to-target dep...
Timed Automata (TA) and Time Petri Nets (TPN) are two well-established formal models for real-time systems. Recently, a linear transformation of TA to TPNs preserving reachability...
: The lack of a unified control plane does not allow current optical networks to dynamically provision new optical paths. The IETF standardization body has proposed the Generalized...
