 ====== Introduction to CRIME ======
-CRIME (Consistent Reasoning in a Mobile Environment) is a logic-based coordination language, which implements the Fact Spaces Model. The essence of the language is that applications can assert and retract public facts which represent knowledge about their immediate environment. Using rules, applications can respond to both the appearance and disappearance of facts, allowing them to react to changes in their environment.
+CRIME (Consistent Reasoning in a Mobile Environment) is a logic-based coordination language, which was developed by Christophe Scholliers and Eline Philips during their master thesis. CRIME implements the [[crime:factspaces|Fact Space Model]], which was designed by Christophe and Eline in collaboration with their supervisors Stijn Mostinckx and Charlotte Herzeel.
-Moreover, facts are automatically retracted whenever the device that provided them becomes unreachable. This allows applications to deal with the disconnection of context information providers in a structured way. A more complete discussion of the design rationale behind the CRIME coordination language is documented in [[http://prog.vub.ac.be/~smostinc/research/factspaces.pdf|this paper]].
+CRIME allows applications to specify logic rules which specify how the applications should respond to changes in its immediate environment. Such changes are modelled by the addition or removal of facts which contain context information.
-<note>The paper linked to above is a draft version which was submitted for review for the COORDINATION 2007 conference. The camera-ready version which was improved and extended to address the reviewer comments will appear in the proceedings of that conference.</note>
+A key feature of CRIME is that applications can explicitly respond to the removal of information. This gives fine-grained control over how an application should respond to disconnection, which implicitly removes information from the system.
+The CRIME Engine that was developed by Christophe and Eline in the context of their master thesis is available for download [[crime:download|here]].
