Architectural advances of modern systems has often been at odds with control complexity, requiring significant effort in both design and verification. This is particularly true ...
Abstract Complex systems call for a hierarchical description. Analogously, the engineering of non-trivial MASs (multiagent systems) requires principles and mechanisms for a multi-l...

Peer-to-Peer systems have proven to be an effective way of sharing data. Modern protocols are able to efficiently route a message to a given peer. However, determining the destin...
We present a new formal OO method, called FOX, which is a synergetic combination of the semi-formal Fusion method and the formal specification language Object-Z. To manage complex...
Performance tuning is an important and time consuming task which may have to be repeated for each new application and platform. Although iterative optimisation can automate this p...
