-====== Introduction to CRIME ====== 
-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.  
- 
-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.  
- 
-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]]. We hope to provide an updated version (which is currently being developed) soon.
