We define a general notion of a fragment within higher order type theory; a procedure for constraint satisfiability in combined fragments is outlined, following Nelson-Oppen sche...
Abstract. Perfectly rational decision-makers maximize expected utility, but crucially ignore the resource costs incurred when determining optimal actions. Here we employ an axiomat...
This paper presents an architecture for QoS-aware middleware platforms. We present a general framework for control, and specialise this framework for QoS provisioning in the middle...
In this paper we are interested in argument based reasoning for access control, for example in the context of agents negotiating access to resources or web services in virtual orga...

In this paper, we consider the control of general hybrid systems. In this context we show that time-abstract bisimulation is not adequate for solving such a problem. That is why w...
