Verification of multi-agent programs is a key problem in agent research and development. This paper focuses on multi-agent programs that consist of a finite set of BDI-based agent...
We combine three threads of research on approximate dynamic programming: sparse random sampling of states, value function and policy approximation using local models, and using lo...
The “Object Constraint Language” (OCL) offers a formal notation for constraining model elements in UML diagrams. OCL consists of a navigational expression language which, for ...

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for proving the validity or invalidity of a pre/postcondition pair for a program. The algorithm is motivated by the success of the algori...
This paper presents an extension to genetic programming to allow the evolution of programs containing local variables with static scope which obey the invariant that all variables...
