The initial step of any software engineering methodology is to form requirements. Recently, a goal-oriented approach to requirements has been proposed and argued to be beneficial...
This work addresses the problem of software fault diagnosis in complex safety critical software systems. The transient manifestations of software faults represent a challenging is...
Several concerns in the development of multi-agent systems (MASs) cannot be represented in a modular fashion. In general, they inherently affect several system modules and cannot b...
Systems using Software Agents (or Multi-Agent Systems, MAS) are becoming more popular within the development mainstream because, as the name suggests, an Agent aims to handle task...
