This paper addresses the question of factoring a logic into families of (generally simpler) components, estimating the top– down perspective, splitting, versus the bottom–up, s...
This paper presents mathematical results that can sometimes be used to simplify the task of reasoning about a default theory, by \splitting it into parts." These so-called Sp...
Language integration is an important issue in the area of software maintenance and reengineering. We describe a novel solution in this area: automatically applied and composed spl...
In many cases, a logic program can be divided into two parts, so that one of them, the \bottom" part, does not refer to the predicates de ned in the \top" part. The \bot...
ended abstract motivates and presents techniques for identifying variable independence in free variable calculi for classical logic without equality. Two variables are called indep...
