This paper takes the next step in develo** the theory of average case complexity initiated
by Leonid A. Levin. Previous works [Levin 84, Gurevich 87, Venkatesan and Levin 88] have …

In this paper, we present a unit testing approach for MASs based on the use of Mock Agents.
Each Mock Agent is responsible for testing a single role of an agent under successful and …

The agent oriented approach is doing great steps towards its (not yet reached) maturity; from
a software engineering point of view, it is today positively used for the analysis and design of …

Design for product configuration is an inherent collaborative and distributed process. It is
characterised by fuzziness of information, fuzziness of knowledge and fuzziness of …

This paper proposes a control architecture for reconfigurable manufacturing systems and its
design method based on Petri nets (Input Output Place Transition and Production Flow …

Cloud-based design and manufacturing (CBDM) can presumably stimulate greater
intelligence in cloud-based models. This paper assumes that cloud-based design for cellular …

Complex Systems are made up of numerous interacting sub-components. Non-linear
interactions of these components or agents give rise to emergent behavior observable at the …

Nowadays, software engineers face a wide range of particular application domains such as
electronic commerce, enterprise resource planning, mobile computing, selforganisation …

The method engineering paradigm enables designers to reuse portions of design processes
(called method fragments or chunks in literature) to build processes that are expressly …
