It has been recognized for some time that software alone does not provide an adequate foundation for building a high-assurance trusted platform. The emergence of industry-standard...
tail defines the level of abstraction used to implement the model's components. A highly detailed model will faithfully simulate all aspects of machine operation, whether or n...
In Multi-agent based simulation (MABS) systems, computational models are built as multi-agent systems (MAS). Replication of these models can contribute to improve the reliability o...
Component-based software structuring principles are now commonly and successfully applied at the application level; but componentisation is far less established when it comes to b...
