We study from an implementation viewpoint what constitutes a reasonable and effective notion of structural equivalence of terms in a calculus of concurrent processes and propose op...
We propose an algorithm to find a counterexample to some property in a finite state program. This algorithm is derived from SPIN’s one, but it finds a counterexample faster th...
This paper presents some of the key techniques for reaching agreements in multi-agent environments. It discusses game-theory and economics based techniques: strategic negotiation, ...
We present the rational construction of a generic domain for structural analysis anguages: Pattern(D ), where the parameter D is an abstract domain satisfying certain properties. ...
Loyalty systems provide an interesting possibility for vendors in customer relationship management. This holds for both real world and online vendors. Beside potential benefits of...
