Accurate failure prediction in Grids is critical for reasoning about QoS guarantees such as job completion time and availability. Statistical methods can be used but they suffer f...
Abstract. A stochastic extension of COWS is presented. First the formalism is given an operational semantics leading to finitely branching transition systems. Then its syntax and ...
Abstract. Agents situated in proactive environments are acting autonomously while the environment is evolving alongside, whether or not the agents carry out any particular actions....
A composition language based on a formal semantic foundation will facilitate precification of glue abstractions and compositions, and will support reasoning about their behaviour....
Holonic Multi-Agent Systems (HMAS) are a convenient way to engineer complex and open systems. In such systems, agents have to be able to self-organize to satisfy their goals. Our w...
