Modeling Adversaries in a Logic for Security Protocol Analysis [PDF]
Logics for security protocol analysis require the formalization of an adversary model that specifies the capabilities of adversaries. A common model is the Dolev-Yao model, which considers only adversaries that can compose and replay messages, and ...

The Total s-Energy of a Multiagent System [PDF]
We introduce the "total s-energy" of a multiagent system with time-dependent links. This provides a new analytical lens on bidirectional agreement dynamics, which we use to bound the convergence rates of dynamical systems for synchronization, flocking ...

A new agents-based model for dynamic job allocation in manufacturing shopfloors [PDF]
Market-based mechanisms such as the contract net protocol (CNP) are very popular for dynamic job allocation in distributed manufacturing control and scheduling. The CNP can be deployed with different configurations of the system elements.

Allocating Limited Resources to Protect a Massive Number of Targets using a Game Theoretic Model [PDF]
Resource allocation is the process of optimizing the rare resources. In the area of security, how to allocate limited resources to protect a massive number of targets is especially challenging.

Soft behaviour modelling of user communities [PDF]
A soft modelling approach for describing behaviour in on-line user communities is introduced in this work. Behaviour models of individual users in dynamic virtual environments have been described in the literature in terms of timed transition automata ...
