Recently a new model agent-based e-commerce system was proposed, in which rule-based mechanism representation was combined with lightweight modular mobile agent design. Furthermor...
Abstract. We describe OBDD-based symbolic model checking algorithms for simply-timed systems, i.e. finite state graphs where transitions carry a duration. These durations can be a...
In previous work, we showed how structural information can be used to efficiently generate the state-space of asynchronous systems. Here, we apply these ideas to symbolic CTL model...
Since software systems need to be continuously available under varying conditions, their ability to evolve at runtime is increasingly seen as one key issue. Modern programming fra...
Safeguarding practices for networked systems involves decisions in at least three areas: identification of welldefined security policies, selection of cost-effective defense strat...
