Markets come to bits: Evolution, computation and markomata in economic science
2007
Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization
The laws that are sought under the new paradigm are laws of the markets, not laws of human nature. 1 A symptom of the general oblivion to market structures is the urban myth about Walras being inspired ...
Based upon my previous historical work, I attempt to isolate and identify what appears to be a profound shift in the conception of the economy in recent economic research, focusing on five areas: mechanism ...

Efficient Analysis and Synthesis of Complex Quantitative Systems
[article]
2018
PhD series, Technical Faculty of IT and Design, ˜Aalborg=ålborgœ University
To increase the applicability of synthesis, we present a semi-algorithm for parameter synthesis for Timed Automata, extendable to more expressive formalisms. ...
As a final contribution to the topic, we present a tool which encompass both ideas from the formal methods community and the machine intelligence community, providing both safe and optimal control synthesis ...

NATURAL INDIVIDUALS AND INTRINSIC PROPERTIES
[chapter]
2009
Unity and Time in Metaphysics
Persons, animals, and possibly the most fundamental physical simples are all natural individuals. What gives these entities the ontological status of a substantial unity? ...
A certain amount of skepticism regarding the full nature of absolutely intrinsic properties is nevertheless well-advised. ...
The basic facts of cellular automata, the distribution of properties over the grid of cells, necessitate the higher-level structural facts about stable emerging patterns. ...

A Case Study on Formal Verification of Self-Adaptive Behaviors in a Decentralized System
2012
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
To model the main processes in the system we use timed automata, and for the specification of the required properties we use timed computation tree logic. ...
Concretely, we contribute with a formalized architecture model of a decentralized traffic monitoring system and prove a number of self-adaptation properties for flexibility and robustness. ...
In Uppaal, a system is modeled as a network of timed automata, called processes. A timed automaton is a finite-state machine extended with clock variables. ...
