An approach to handle the complex dynamics of a multi-agent system is based on distinguishing aggregation levels by structuring the system into parts or components. The behavior of...
Model checking is an automated technique that can be used to determine whether a system satisfies certain required properties. To address the "state explosion" problem a...
