Developing autonomic systems is a major challenge due to their distributed nature, large dimension, high dynamism, openendedness, and need of adaptation. In this paper, we tackle t...
We present a framework for formal software development with UML. In contrast to previous approaches to equipping UML with a formal semantics, we propose an institution-based hetero...

This paper defines the “ultimate” formal semantics for Alice and Bob notation, i.e., what actions the honest agents have to perform, in the presence of an arbitrary set of cry...
Abstract. The Helena approach allows to specify dynamically evolving ensembles of collaborating components. It is centered around the notion of roles which components can adopt in ...
This work studies the relationship between veriable and computable answers for reachability problems in rewrite theories with an underlying membership equational logic. These prob...
Abstract. This essay addresses the concerns of the foundations of mathematics of the early 20th century which led to the creation of formally axiomatized universes. These are confr...
A Structured Document Algebra (SDA) defines modules with variation points and how such modules compose. The basic operations are module addition and replacement. Repeated addition...
