At the same time, it demonstrates how luminaries such as Omar Khayyam and Ibn Sina, contributed to the renewal of philosophy as a freedom seeking exercise and as a means to pursue happiness through knowledge.

A compiler can check message types and ensure that agents use disjoint sets of variables only. The...
