We present the formal framework for a novel approach for specifying and automatically implementing systems such as digital circuits and network protocols. The goal is to reduce the...
The recent approaches of extending the GRAPHPLAN algorithm to handle more expressive planning formalisms raise the question of what the formal meaning of "expressive power&qu...
This paper outlines a general picture of our ongoing work under EU Mobius and Sensoria projects on a type-based compilation and execution framework for a class of multicore CPUs. O...
Component-oriented development of software supports the adaptability and maintainability of large systems, in particular if requirements change over time and parts of a system hav...
An optimization can be specified as sequential compositions of predefined transformation primitives. For each primitive, we can define soundness conditions which guarantee that th...
