Abstract. The automata-based model checking approach for randomized distributed systems relies on an operational interleaving semantics of the system by means of a Markov decision ...
Experimental computer systems research typically ignores the end-user, modeling him, if at all, in overly simple ways. We argue that this (1) results in inadequate performance eva...

In this work we investigate the potential of combining AI tree-search algorithms with the algorithms of combinatorial game theory to provide more efficient strategies for playing s...
Fixed point calculus is about the solution of recursive equations de˛ned by a monotonic endofunction on a partially ordered set. This tutorial presents the basic theory of ˛xed ...
Storytelling is an innate human characteristic. Stories are used to manage meaning, control behavior, and facilitate identification and bonding [9]. The theory of identification a...
