Verification and compliance testing are required if agents are to be delegated responsibility for legally binding contracts, for example in electronic markets. This paper describes...
Environment is an essential part of any multi-agent system (MAS), since it provides the surrounding conditions for agents to exist. For some sort of systems, the environment can be...

Abstract. When designing an open system, there might be no implementation available for certain components at verification time. For such systems, verification has to be based on a...
In order to check whether an open system satisfies a desired property, we need to check the behavior of the system with respect to an arbitrary environment. In the most general se...
In an open system, multi-agent computations must compete for resources required for satisfying their goals. We describe CyberOrgs, a hierarchical model for acquisition and control...
In recent years, trust negotiation (TN) has been proposed as a novel access control solution for use in open system environments in which resources are shared across organizationa...

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...
