Many safety-critical systems deal with geometric objects. Reasoning about the correctness of such systems is mandatory and requires the use of basic definitions of geometry for th...
Long transactions cause pragmatic problems for workflow systems – as the transaction is moving, so is the surrounding world. We look at three scenarios in which external events ...
This paper describes the vision of the Collective, a compute utility which runs internet services as well as the highly interactive applications we run on desktop computers today....
Multi-agent systems (MASs), comprised of autonomous entities with the aim to cooperate to reach a common goal, may be viewed as computational models of distributed complex systems ...
Artificial agents trying to achieve communicative goals in situated interactions in the real-world need powerful computational systems for conceptualizing their environment. In ord...
