In this paper, we introduce a new, formal model of learning object metadata. The model enables more formal, rigorous reasoning over metadata. An important feature of the model is t...
Obtaining performance models, like Markov chains and queueing networks, for systems of significant complexity and magnitude is a difficult task that is usually tackled using human...
In this paper, we describe a scheme for tolerating and recovering from mid-query faults in a distributed shared nothing database. Rather than aborting and restarting queries, our s...

Multi-agent systems (MASs), comprised of autonomous entities with the aim to cooperate to reach a common goal, may be viewed as computational models of distributed complex systems ...
Model checking is a promising approach to automatic verification, which has concentrated on specification expressed in temporal logic. Comparatively little attention has been give...
