In recent years a number of OO methods have been enhanced with textual, mathematical languages for specifying invariants and action contracts (pre and post conditions). This paper ...
This paper shows how action theories, expressed in an extended version of the language B, can be naturally encoded using Prioritized Default Theory. We also show how prioritized d...
The agent-based approach is an effective one for building middleware interconnecting distributed heterogeneous resources and providing semantic interoperability among them. On the...
Concurrent action execution is important for plan-length minimization. However, action specifications are often limited to avoid conflicts arising from precondition/effect inter...
Our concern in this paper is with conjecturing diagnoses to explain what happened to a system, given a theory of system behaviour and some observed (aberrant) behaviour. We charac...
