Communication in multi-agent systems is an important subject of the current research. In this paper, the syntax and semantics of a multi-agent programming language, called ECCS, a...
We report on an experiment in combining Isabelle with automatic first-order arithmetic provers to increase automation on the verification of distributed protocols. As a case study...
We present the first cryptographically sound security proof of the well-known Otway-Rees protocol. More precisely, we show that the protocol is secure against arbitrary active att...
Increasing attention has been paid recently to criteria that allow one to conclude that a structure models a linear-time property from the knowledge that no counterexamples exist ...
We are concerned with programs composed of cooperative threads whose execution proceeds in synchronous rounds called instants. We develop static analysis methods to guarantee that...
In previous work we proposed Linear Programs as a fine grained model for imperative programs, and showed how the model checking procedure used in SLAM can be generalised to a mode...
We describe our efforts to use rule-based programming to produce a model of Jumbo, a run-time program generation (RTPG) system for Java. Jumbo incorporates RTPG following the simp...
Organizational models have been recently used in agent theory for modeling coordination in open systems and to ensure social order in multi-agent system applications. In this pape...
The provision of health-care services and home assistance to the elderly and chronic patients is a challenging application scenario for Web Services composition, which support the...
