In this paper we propose an agent-based model of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) which extends seamlessly from concurrent single-host to distributed multi-host installations. Since ...
Debugging multi-agent systems, which are concurrent, distributed, and consist of complex components, is difficult, yet crucial. In earlier work we have proposed mechanisms whereby...
Petri Nets are a formal tool for studying systems that are concurrent, asynchronous, distributed, parallel, nondeterministic, and/or stochastic. They were used in a number of real-...
characterization of indulgence in an abstract computing model that encompasses various communication and resilience schemes. We use our characterization to establish several result...
When provingthe correctness of algorithmsin distributed systems, one generally considers safety conditions and liveness conditions. The Input Output I O automaton model and its ti...
