Abstract. Just as cooperation in multi-agent systems is a central issue for solving complex tasks, so too is the ability for an intelligent agent to reason about combined knowledge...
Much of the literature on symmetry reductions for model checking assumes a simple model of computation where the local state of each component in a concurrent system can be repres...
We give algorithms to construct the least L-model for a given positive modal logic program P, where L can be one of the modal logics KD, T, KDB, B, KD4, S4, KD5, KD45, and S5. If L...
We describe an incomplete but sound and efficient livelock freedom test for infinite state asynchronous reactive systems. The method s a system into a set of simple control flow cy...
UOBYQA is a new algorithm for general unconstrained optimization calculations, that takes account of the curvature of the objective function, F say, by forming quadratic models by ...
