Agent Communication Languages (ACLs) have been developed to provide a way for agents to communicate with each other supporting
cooperation in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). In the past few years many ACLs have been proposed for MAS and new standards are
emerging such as the ACL developed by the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA). Despite these efforts, an important
issue in the research on ACLs is still open and concerns how these languages should deal with failures of agents in asynchronous MAS. The Fault Tolerant Agent Communication Language (
-
) presented in this paper addresses this issue dealing with crash failures of agents.
-
provides high-level communication primitives which support a fault-tolerant anonymous interaction protocol designed for open
MAS. We present a formal semantics for
-
and a formal specification of the underlying agent architecture. This formal framework allows us to prove that the ACL satisfies
a set of well defined knowledge-level programming requirements. To illustrate the language features we show how
-
can be effectively used to write high-level executable specifications of fault tolerant protocols, such as the Contract Net
one. 相似文献

We study various combinatorial complexity measures of
Boolean functions related to some natural arithmetic problems about
binary polynomials, that is, polynomials over
.
In particular, we consider
the Boolean function deciding whether a given polynomial over
is squarefree. We obtain an exponential lower bound on the size of a
decision tree for this function, and derive an asymptotic formula, having
a linear main term, for its average sensitivity. This allows us to estimate
other complexity characteristics such as the formula size, the average decision
tree depth and the degrees of exact and approximative polynomial
representations of this function. Finally, using a different method, we
show that testing squarefreeness and irreducibility of polynomials over
cannot be done in
for any odd prime p. Similar results are
obtained for deciding coprimality of two polynomials over
as well. 相似文献

Abstract We obtain a multivariate extension of a classical result of Schoenberg on cardinal spline interpolation. Specifically, we
prove the existence of a unique function in
, polyharmonic of order p on each strip
,
, and periodic in its last n variables, whose restriction to the parallel hyperplanes
,
, coincides with a prescribed sequence of n-variate periodic data functions satisfying a growth condition in
. The constructive proof is based on separation of variables and on Micchelli’s theory of univariate cardinal
-splines.

We study image approximation by a separable wavelet basis
and ϕ,ψ are elements of a standard biorthogonal wavelet basis in L2(ℝ). Because k1≠ k2, the supports of the basis elements are rectangles, and the corresponding transform is known as the rectangular wavelet transform. We provide a self-contained proof that if one-dimensional wavelet basis has M dual vanishing moments then the rate of approximation by N coefficients of rectangular wavelet transform is
for functions with mixed derivative of order M in each direction. These results are consistent with optimal approximation rates for such functions. The square wavelet transform
yields the approximation rate is
for functions with all derivatives of the total order M. Thus, the rectangular wavelet transform can outperform the square one if an image has a mixed derivative. We provide experimental
comparison of image approximation which shows that rectangular wavelet transform outperform the square one.

Escape analysis of object-oriented languages approximates the set of objects which do not escape from a given context. If we take a method as context, the non-escaping objects can be allocated on its activation stack;
if we take a thread, Java synchronisation locks on such objects are not needed. In this paper, we formalise a basic escape
domain
as an abstract interpretation of concrete states, which we then refine into an abstract domain
which is more concrete than
and, hence, leads to a more precise escape analysis than
. We provide optimality results for both
and
, in the form of Galois insertions from the concrete to the abstract domains and of optimal abstract operations. The Galois
insertion property is obtained by restricting the abstract domains to those elements which do not contain garbage, by using an abstract garbage collector. Our implementation of
is hence an implementation of a formally correct escape analyser, able to detect the stack allocatable creation points of
Java (bytecode) applications. 相似文献

Any given n×n matrix A is shown to be a restriction, to the A-invariant subspace, of a nonnegative N×N matrix B of spectral radius (B) arbitrarily close to (A). A difference inclusion

of nonnegative matrices B with

The generalized Zakharov system (ZS) couples a dispersive field E (scalar or vectorial) and
nondispersive fields
with a propagating speed of
. In this paper, we extend our one-dimensional time-splitting spectral method (TSSP) for the generalized ZS into higher dimension.
A main new idea is to reformulate the multi-dimensional wave equations for the nondispersive fields into a first-order system
using a change of variable defined in the Fourier space. The proposed scheme TSSP is unconditionally stable, second-order
in time and spectrally accurate in space. Moreover, in the subsonic regime, it allows numerical capturing of the subsonic
limit without resolving the small parameters
. Numerical examples confirm these properties of this method 相似文献

We construct a linear interval system Ax = b with a 4 × 4 interval matrix whose all proper interval coefficients (there are also some noninterval ones) are of the form [–, ]. It is proved that for each > 0, the interval hull
and interval hull of the midpoint preconditioned system
satisfy
and

Coupling and self-stabilization 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A randomized self-stabilizing algorithm
is an algorithm that, whatever the initial configuration is, reaches a set
of М legal configurations} in finite time with probability 1. The proof of convergence towards
is generally done by exhibiting a potential function
, which measures the “vertical” distance of any configuration to
, such that
decreases with non-null probability at each step of
. We propose here a method, based on the notion of coupling, which makes use of a “horizontal” distance
between any pair of configurations, such that
decreases in expectation at each step of
. In contrast with classical methods, our coupling method does not require the knowledge of
. In addition to the proof of convergence, the method allows us to assess the convergence rate according to two different
measures. Proofs produced by the method are often simpler or give better upper bounds than their classical counterparts, as
examplified here on Herman's mutual exclusion and Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma algorithms in the case of cyclic graphs. 相似文献

A class of two-parameter discrete systems defined on the ring
of class of residues of integers
modulo m is studied. All solutions are shown to be periodic, stability conditions (equality of solutions to zero, beginning from a certain instant) and a controllability condition are formulated. Controllability is shown to guarantee stabilizability. 相似文献
