Abstract. Refinement plays a crucial role in "top-down" styles of verification, such as the refinement calculus, but for probabilistic systems proof of refinement is a pa...
We are designing a computational architecture for a "learning economy" based on personal software agents who represent users in a virtual society and assist them in find...
Artificial Intelligence has contributed (formal) design models and software support tools to application areas such as architecture, engineering and software design. This paper exp...
In order to be able to evaluate beforehand the impact of a strategical or tactical move, decision makers need reliable previsional systems. What-if analysis satisfies this need b...
Software development is a complex and error-prone task. An important factor during the development of complex systems is the understanding of the dependencies that exist between d...
