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...
It is important to focus on security aspects during the development cycle to deliver reliable software. However, locating security faults in complex systems is difficult and ther...
A family of satisfiable benchmark instances in conjunctive normal form is introduced. The instances are constructed by transforming a random regular graph into a system of linear ...
Many data-intensive applications dynamically construct queries in response to client requests and execute them. Java servlets, e.g., can create string representations of SQL queri...
