Abstract. In this paper we propose a model that allows agents to deliberate using defeasible argumentation, to share knowledge with other agents, and to represent individual knowle...
The aspect-oriented paradigm allows weaving aspects in different join points of a program. Aspects can modify object fields and method control flow, thus possibly introducing subt...
We introduce a family of temporal logics to specify the behavior of systems with Zeno behaviors. We extend linear-time temporal logic LTL to authorize models admitting Zeno sequen...
Object-oriented frameworks are sophisticated software artifacts that significantly impact productivity when building applications in a given domain. However, frameworks are complex...
We present a slicing approach for analyzing logic programs with respect to non-termination. The notion of a failure-slice is presented which is an executable reduced fragment of th...
