In this paper, we develop a theory of modular design and refinement of hierarchical hybrid systems. In particular, we present compositional trace-based semantics for the language ...
Information System Engineering has become under increasing pressure to come up with software solutions that endow systems with the agility that is required to evolve in a continual...
In this paper, we describe the development of an Embodied Conversational Agent (ECA) implementing the concept of a companion, i.e. an agent supporting the persistent representatio...

Component-Based Software Engineering, Separation of Concerns, Model-Driven Architecture, and Aspect-Oriented Programming are four active research areas that have been around for s...
In this paper we present a system that uses its underlying physiology, a hierarchical memory and a collection of memory management algorithms to learn concepts as cases and to bui...
