While model checking suffers from the state space explosion problem, theorem proving is quite tedious and impractical for verifying complex designs. In this work, we present a veri...
As a case study that illustrates our view on coordination and component-based software engineering, we present the design and implementation of a parallel constraint solver. The pa...
In this paper, a distributed heuristic search algorithm is presented. We show that the algorithm is admissible and give an informal analysis of its load balancing, scalability, an...
Autonomous mobile programs (AMPs) offer a novel decentralised load management technology where periodic use is made of cost models to decide where to execute in a network. In this...
