Parallelizing existing sequential programs to run efficiently on multicores is hard. The Java 5 package java.util.concurrent (j.u.c.) supports writing concurrent programs: much of...
This paper synthesizes two trends in the engineering of agent-based systems. One, modern agent-oriented methodologies deal with the key aspects of software development including re...
The behavior of nondeterminate systems can be hard to predict, since similar inputs at different times can generate different outputs. In other words, the behavior seen during tes...
