Distributed systems can often be modeled as a collection of distributed (system) variables whose values are constrained by a set of constraints. In distributed multi-agent systems...

Topological invariants of spatial databases (i.e., finite structures that capture the topological properties of the database) are receiving increasing attention since they can act...

Abstract. Over the last decade, first-order constraints have been efficiently used in the artificial intelligence world to model many kinds of complex problems such as: scheduling,...
We investigate the formal relationship between separability of processes and the types of non-interference properties they enjoy. Though intuitively appealing, separability – th...
We study properties of programs with monotone and convex constraints. We extend to these formalisms concepts and results from normal logic programming. They include the notions of...
