Performance evaluation is a central issue in the design of complex real-time systems. In this work, we propose an extension of socalled "Max-Plus" algebraic techniques to...
Abstract—In this paper, we address the problem of selfadaptation in internet-scale service-oriented systems. Services need to adapt by select the best neighboring services solely...
We propose Alternating-time Dynamic Logic (ADL) as a multi-agent variant of Dynamic Logic in which atomic programs are replaced by coalitions. In ADL, the Dynamic Logic operators ...
This work introduces a formal framework for the social acquisition of ontologies which are constructed dynamically from overhearing the possibly conflicting symbolic interaction o...
In distributed scenarios the robustness of a reputation mechanism depends on the data available for computation. Especially in ad-hoc networks the amount of available data is rest...
