Multi-agent systems comprise multiple, deliberative agents embedded in and recreating patterns of interactions. Each agent’s execution consumes considerable storage and calculat...
This paper explores the application of rewriting logic to the executable formal modeling of real-time and hybrid systems. We give general techniques by which such systems can be s...
The FlexRay protocol [4] is likely to be the de facto standard for automotive communication systems. Hence, there is a need to provide hard performance guarantees on properties li...
Most mainstream system programming languages provide support for builtin types, and extension mechanisms through userdefined types. They also come with a notion of constant expre...
