Abstract. We prove lower bounds on the randomized two-party communication complexity of functions that arise from read-once boolean formulae. A read-once boolean formula is a formu...
Following the simple Programmable Logic Device (SPLD) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) generations a third generation of programmable logic technologies is now reaching the...
In this paper we provide a systematic formal interpretation for most elements of the UML notation. This interpretation, in a structured temporal logic, enables precise analysis of...
In component based software engineering, an application is build by composing trusted and reusable units of execution, the components. A composition is formed by connecting the com...
Given a specification of communication rules in a multiagent system (in the form of protocols, ACL semantics, etc.), the question of how to design appropriate agents that can oper...
