Horn fragments of Description Logics (DLs) have gained popularity because they provide a beneficial trade-off between expressive power and computational complexity and, more spec...
Mobile agent technology is an emerging technology that allows easier design, implementation, and maintenance of distributed systems. Mobility enables agents to reduce network load,...
Hybrid systems like computer-controlled chemical plants are typical safety critical distributed systems. In present practice, the safety of hybrid systems is guaranteed by hazard ...
Reconfigurable System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms that incorporate hard-core processors surrounded by large amounts of FPGA are today commodities: the reconfigurable logic is often us...
Abstract. Ontology reasoning is an indispensable step to fully exploit the implicit semantics of Semantic Web data. The inherent distribution characteristic of the Semantic Web and...
