There is a growing need for a theory of “local to global” in distributed multi-agent systems, one which is able systematically to describe and analyze a variety of problems. T...
—Virtual coordinate systems provide an accurate and efficient service that allows hosts on the Internet to determine latency to arbitrary hosts based on information provided by ...

a growing need to study abstract problems in distributed multi-agent systems in a systematic way, as well as to provide a qualitative mathematical framework in which to compare po...
Based on natural deduction, Pure Type Systems (PTS) can express a wide range of type theories. In order to express proof-search in such theories, we introduce the Pure Type Sequent...
We present a theory of granular parthood based on qualitative cardinality and size measures. Using standard mereological relations and qualitative, contextdependent relations such ...
