Abstract--We believe that agent-oriented programming languages and multi-agent programming technologies provide an effective level of abstraction for tackling the design and progra...
Parallel pattern-matching (PPM) provides true commutative implementation of functions defined by cases in functional languages, because no argument is given precedence over any o...
JAC is a Java extension for high-level concurrent programming, meant to hide the notions of threads and synchronization statements from the programmer. Putting into practice the c...
Information flow type systems provide an elegant means to enforce confidentiality of programs. Using the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL, we have machine-checked a recent work of B...
The interaction among concurrently executing threads of a program results in insidious programming errors that are difficult to reproduce and fix. Unfortunately, the problem of ve...
