Continuous-variable simulation optimization problems are those optimization problems where the objective function is computed through stochastic simulation and the decision variab...
In principle, bounded model checking (BMC) leads to semidecision procedures that can be used to verify liveness properties and to falsify safety properties. If the procedures fail...
In this paper a simulation model for visual attention is discussed and formally analysed. The model is part of the design of a cognitive system which comprises an agent that suppor...
