We present a process algebra for modeling and reasoning about Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) and their protocols. In our algebra we model the essential modeling concepts of ad ho...
Objects often define usage protocols that clients must follow in order for these objects to work properly. Aliasing makes it notoriously difficult to check whether clients and i...
An agent who bases his actions upon explicit logical formulae has at any given point in time a finite set of formulae he has computed. Closure or consistency conditions on this se...
