Agent systems are distributed systems consist of agents that autonomously interact to each
other in an environment to perform tasks and achieve goals. Performing verification is …

In online advertising, search engines sell ad placements for keywords continuously through
auctions. This problem can be seen as an infinitely repeated game since the auction is …

We address the problem of model checking first-order dynamic systems where new objects
can be injected in the active domain during execution. Notable examples are systems …

Abstract Information and processes are both important aspects of information systems.
Nevertheless, most existing languages for modeling information systems focus either on one …

Data-driven workflows, of which IBM's Business Artifacts are a prime exponent, have been
successfully deployed in practice, adopted in industrial standards, and have spawned a rich …

We consider μ L, μ L a, and μ L p, three variants of the first-order μ-calculus studied in
verification of data-aware processes, that differ in the form of quantification on objects across …

We present an overview of results on verification of temporal properties of infinite-state
transition systems arising from processes that carry and manipulate unbounded data. The …

We describe a formally well founded approach to link data and processes conceptually,
based on adopting UML class diagrams to represent data, and BPMN to represent the …

In this paper, 1 we investigate bounded action theories in the situation calculus. A bounded
action theory is one which entails that, in every situation, the number of object tuples in the …

Manufacturing is transitioning from a mass production model to a service model in which
facilities 'bid'to produce products. To decide whether to bid for a complex, previously unseen …
