Self-adapting software adapts its behavior in an autonomic way, by dynamically adding, suppressing and recomposing components, and by the use of computational reflection. One way t...
Abstract We propose an approach to texture boundary detection that only requires a line-search in the direction normal to the edge. It is therefore very fast and can be incorporate...
A new multiagent programmingparadigm based on the transactional logic model' is developed. This paradigm enables us to construct a Distributed agent transactional program (DA...
