The engineering of systems that are acceptably correct is a hard problem. On the one hand, semi-formal modelling approaches that are used in practical, large-scale system developm...
Model checking is a powerful automated technique mainly used for the verification of properties of reactive systems. In practice, model checkers are limited due to the state explos...
In a recent paper by Hellerstein [15], a tight relationship was conjectured between the number of strata of a Datalog¬ program and the number of “coordination stages” require...
In the last few years, argumentation frameworks have been successfully applied to multi agent systems. Recently, argumentation has been used to provide a framework for reasoning a...
