Abstract. Spatial logics have been introduced to reason about distributed computation in models for concurrency. We first define a spatial logic for a general class of infinite-...
Correctness of many hybrid and distributed systems require stability and convergence guarantees. Unlike the standard induction principle for verifying invariance, a theory for veri...
Building an adaptive software system that can cope with changing requirements and changing environments presents four major challenges. These are (1) to receive, represent and rea...
This paper describes SKIMA, a mediation system that gives transparent access to heterogeneous and distributed sources considering their semantics and the semantics of application ...
We investigate the protection of migrating agents against the untrusted sites they traverse. The resulting calculus provides a formal framework to reason about protection policies ...
