The agent paradigm can be seen as an extension of the notion of (active) objects by concepts like autonomy and cooperation. Mainstream object-oriented modeling techniques do not a...
We show how to use an interactive theorem prover, HOL, together with a model checker, SPIN, to prove key properties of distance vector routing protocols. We do three case studies: ...
