Social and organizational aspects of agency have become a major issue in the Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) domain. Recent applications of MAS on Web and Ambient Computing enforce the need of using these dimensions in the programming of MAS. The aim is to ensure the governance of such systems while preserving their decentralization and openness. In this talk, we present how multi-agent organisations...

The protection landscape is changing and exploits are getting more and more sophisticated. Exploit generation toolkits can be used to construct exploits for specific applications using well-defined algorithms. We present such an algorithm for leveraging format strings and introduce string oriented programming. String oriented programming takes format string exploits to the next level and turns ...

This paper discusses the issues in amalgamating multiple programming paradigms in the logic programming language, Prolog. It is shown that multiple paradigms can be incorporated without disturbing logic programming language features and efficiency. It also introduces a new programming paradigm called the relation-oriented paradigm. The research results are reflected in the implementation of the...
