Commitments model important aspects of agent interactions, especially those arising in e-business. A small number of patterns of commitments accommodate a variety of realistic int...
A new multiagent programmingparadigm based on the transactional logic model' is developed. This paradigm enables us to construct a Distributed agent transactional program (DA...
Abstract. A distributed system is fault-tolerant if it continues to perform correctly even when a subset of the processes becomes faulty. Faulttolerance is highly desirable but oft...
We propose a format of predicate diagrams for the verification of real-time systems. We consider systems that are defined as extended timed graphs, a format that combines timed au...
In the research reported in this paper, transient faults were injected in the nodes and in the communication subsystem (by using software fault injection) of a commercial parallel...
