We address the problem of merging qualitative constraints networks (QCNs). We point out a merging algorithm which computes a consistent QCN representing a global view of the input...
A minimum time problem with a nonlinear smooth dynamics and a target satisfying an internal sphere condition is considered. Under the assumption that the minimum time T be continu...
Trust is a crucial basis for interactions among parties in large, open systems. Yet, the scale and dynamism of such systems make it infeasible for each party to have a direct basi...
The presence of non-determinism in the parallel-functional language Eden creates some problems. Several non-determinism analyses have been developed to determine when an Eden expre...
This paper discusses the development of a methodology for reasoning about properties of security policies. We view a security policy as a special case of regulation which specifi...
