In the multilevel generalized assignment problem (MGAP) agents can perform tasks at more than one efficiency level. Important manufacturing problems, such as lot sizing, can be ea...
We describe a technique for automatically proving compiler optimizations sound, meaning that their transformations are always semantics-preserving. We first present a domainspeci...
In defining large, complex access control policies, one would like to compose sub-policies, perhaps authored by different organizations, into a single global policy. Existing po...
The NRL Protocol Analyzer (NPA) is a tool for the formal specification and analysis of cryptographic protocols that has been used with great effect on a number of complex real-l...
In this paper we propose a formal specification of a persuasion protocol between autonomous agents using an approach based on social commitments and arguments. In order to be flexi...
