Systems of autonomous agents providing automated services over the Web are fast becoming a reality. Often these agent systems are constructed using procedural architectures that pr...
Autonomic computer systems aim to reduce the configuration, operational, and maintenance costs of distributed applications by enabling them to self-manage, self-heal, self-optimiz...

In this paper we introduce a design methodology that allows the system/circuit designer to build reliable systems out of unreliable nano-scale components. The central point of our...

We have extended the ACL2 theorem prover to automatically prove properties of VHDL circuits with IBM's Internal SixthSense verification system. We have used this extension to...
with existing analysis tools. Modular reasoning principles such as abstraction, compositional refinement, and assume-guarantee reasoning are well understood for architectural hiera...
