In this paper, we show how to establish correctness and time bounds (e.g., quality of service guarantees) for multi-agent systems composed of communicating rule-based agents. The f...
A well-known framework by Fagin, Halpern, Moses and Vardi models knowledge-based agents as \Interpreted Systems". In this paper we analyse a particular class of interpreted sy...
In this paper we propose a process algebra named CCB (a Calculus of Countable Broadcasting Systems). We define an observational congruence relation in CCB after basic definitions...
We develop a theory of bisimulation equivalence for the broadcast calculus CBS. Both the strong and weak versions of bisimulation congruence we study are justi ed in terms of a cha...
We propose a new computation model which combines the operational principles of functional languages (reduction), logic languages (non-deterministic search for solutions), and int...
