We propose a method of compiling circumscription into Extended Logic Programs which is widely applicable to a class of parallel circumscription as well as a class of prioritized c...
For a rewrite theory to be executable, its equations E should be (ground) confluent and terminating modulo the given axioms A, and their rules should be (ground) coherent with E m...
Abstract. Applications in software verification often require determining the satisfiability of first-order formulæ with respect to some background theories. During development...
This paper deals with test case selection from axiomatic specifications whose axioms are quantifier-free first-order formulae. Test cases are modeled as ground formulae and any spe...
In the proposed data model for XML databases, an XML element is directly represented as a ground (variable-free) XML expression—a generalization of an XML element by incorporatio...
