The modular representation of concerns is imperative in the design modeling of multi-agent systems (MASs). However, MAS designers typically face a number of concerns that inherent...

Process calculi are mathematical tools used for modeling and analyzing the structure and behavior of reactive systems. One such calculus, called APi-calculus (an extension to Pi-ca...
This paper is a response to requests from several respected colleagues in academia for a careful writeup of the classical time-optimal control based hybrid controllers that we have...

: Given a system design (SD), a key task is to optimize this design to reduce the probability of catastrophic failures. We consider the task of redesigning an SD to minimize the pr...

In the context of the modular and incremental development of complex systems, viewed as interconnections of interacting components, new dimensions and new problems arise in the ca...
