Detecting and preventing the adversarial action of an agent with respect to the community of agents can be a serious issue in the design of open multi-agent systems. This task is ...
Most large-scaled software systems are structured in distributed components to manage complexity and have to cope with concurrent executed threads. System decomposition and concur...
This paper presents novel uses of functional interface specifications for verifying RTL designs. We demonstrate how a simulation environment, a correctness checker, and a function...
This paper studies argumentation-based dialogues between agents. It takes a previously defined system by which agents can trade arguments and examines the outcomes of the dialogu...
In this paper, we merge speech act theory, emotion theory, and logic. We propose a modal logic that integrates the concepts of belief, goal, ideal and responsibility and that allo...
