Computational logic in multi-agent systems ; 4th International Workshop, CLIMA IV, Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA, January 6-7, 2004, Revised Selected and Invited Papers
Though multiagent systems (MASs) are being increasingly used, few methods exist to ensure survivability of MASs. All existing methods suffer from two flaws. First, a centralized survivability algorithm (CSA) ensures survivability of the MAS – unfortunately, if the node on which the CSA exists goes down, the survivability of the MAS is questionable. Second, no mechanism exists to change how the MAS is deployed when external factors trigger a re-evaluation of the survivability of the MAS. In this paper, we present three algorithms to address these two important problems. Our algorithms can be built on top of any CSA. Our algorithms are completely distributed and can handle external triggers to compute a new deployment. We report on experiments assessing the efficiency of these algorithms.

Computational Discovery of Scientific Knowledge : Introduction, Techniques, and Applications in Environmental and Life Sciences
Advances in technology have enabled the collection of data from scientific observations, simulations, and experiments at an ever-increasing pace. For the scientist and engineer to benefit from these enhanced data collecting capabilities, it is becoming clear that semi-automated data analysis techniques must be applied to find the useful information in the data. Computational scientific discovery methods can be used to this end: they focus on applying computational methods to automate scientific activities, such as finding laws from observational data. In contrast to mining scientific data, which focuses on building highly predictive models, computational scientific discovery puts a strong emphasis on discovering knowledge represented in formalisms used by scientists and engineers, such as numeric equations and reaction pathways. This state-of-the-art survey provides an introduction to computational approaches to the discovery of scientific knowledge and gives an overview of recent advances in this area, including techniques and applications in environmental and life sciences.
Command-Line Rust : A Project-Based Primer for Writing Rust CLIs
Rather than focusing on the language as a whole, this guide teaches Rust using a single small, complete, focused program in each chapter. Author Ken Youens-Clark shows you how to start, write, and test each of these programs to create a finished product. You'll learn how to handle errors in Rust, read and write files, and use regular expressions, Rust types, structs, and more.
