One of the objectives of ooDBMSs is to use type-speci c methods for manipulating objects, in order to maintain the consistency of the database. This is, however, little help for t...
Abstract. In this paper we investigate orthogonal polyhedra, i.e. polyhedra which are finite unions of full-dimensional hyper-rectangles. We define representation schemes for the...
Hybrid systems like computer-controlled chemical plants are typical safety critical distributed systems. In present practice, the safety of hybrid systems is guaranteed by hazard ...
Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) is an approach to reactive programming where systems are structured as networks of functions operating on signals. FRP is based on the synchr...
Cooperation is the process of synchronization and exchanging useful knowledge between agents in multiagent systems. Since cooperation associates agents into a collaborative team t...
