The paper targets the applicability of model-driven methodologies to the validation of complex systems and presents a case study of a mobile radio network. Validation relies on the...
There exists a growing class of distributed applications that require adaptive middleware services, i.e., services that are able to monitor changes in the execution environment an...
Abstract. The engineering of grown systems poses fundamentally different system integration challenges than ordinary engineering of static designs. On the one hand, a grown system ...
Distributed mechanisms that regulate the behavior of autonomous agents in open multi-agent systems (MAS) are of high interest since we cannot employ centralized approaches relying...
We study (collapsible) higher-order pushdown systems -- theoretically robust and well-studied models of higher-order programs -- along with their natural subclass called (collapsi...
