Abstract:
Formal methods are gaining popularity as a way of increasing the reliability of systems through the use of mathematically based techniques. Their domain is no longer restricted to purely academic environments and examples, as they are slowly moving into industrial settings. The slow rate at which this transition takes place is mainly due to the perceived difficulty of formalising the behaviour of systems. While this is undoubtedly true, it is not the case with all formal methods. Update Plans are a powerful formalism for the description of computer architectures and intermediate to low-level l

Abstract:
In order for an agent or a group of agents to achieve a goal, there is a sequence of actions that need to be taken. This sequence of actions constitutes a plan. In some occasions multiple plans that can be used to achieve the goal may exist. It may be the case that one wants to prevent an agent or group of agents from achieving a particular goal; currently, there is little research addressing this issue. Such research is valuable when preventing malicious agents or groups of agents such as bot nets from perpetrating destructive behavior. In this thesis, we tackle the disruption of single agent

A ship berthing plan assigns surface vessels a berth prior to their port entrance, or reassigns ships once in port to allow them to accomplish in a timely manner maintenance, training, and certification events which build readiness for future operational commitments. Each ship requires different services when in port, such as shore power, crane services, ordnance, and fuel. Unfortunately, not all services are offered at all piers. At present, ship berthing plans are manually prepared by a port operations scheduler and often result in unnecessary berth shifts, which puts ships out of action for
