There is a growing need for a theory of “local to global” in distributed multi-agent systems, one which is able systematically to describe and analyze a variety of problems. T...
a growing need to study abstract problems in distributed multi-agent systems in a systematic way, as well as to provide a qualitative mathematical framework in which to compare po...
We have developed a theory of sharing which captures the behaviour of programs with respect to shared data into the framework of process algebra. The core theory can describe prog...
In the context of modelling cryptographic tools like blind signatures and homomorphic encryption, the DolevYao model is typically extended with an operator over which encryption i...
This work presents the application of theory revision to the design of distributed databases to automatically revise a heuristic-based algorithm (called analysis algorithm) through...
