— This paper explores a process-oriented approach to complex systems design, using massive fine-grained concurrency, mobile channels and mobile processes. The complex systems st...
We address the problem of automatically constructing basis functions for linear approximation of the value function of a Markov Decision Process (MDP). Our work builds on results ...
Program specifications are important in many phases of the software development process, but they are often omitted or incomplete. An important class of specifications takes the f...
A cellular model based on the Incrementally Modular Abstraction Hierarchy (IMAH) is a novel model that can represent the architecture of and changes in cyberworlds, preserving inva...
