We consider in the current paper the issue of exploiting the structural form of Esterel programs [BG92] to partition the algorithmic RSS (reachable state space) fix-point construc...
Abstract. Bisimulation reduction is a classical means to fight the infamous state space explosion problem, which limits the applicability of automated methods for verification li...
—A new abstract model of computation, the computational manifold, provides a framework for approaching the problems of consciousness, awareness, cognition and symbolic processing...
A possible worlds semantics for model-based spatial reasoning is presented. In this semantics, worlds are characterized by the alternative states that result from indeterminacy or...
Symbolic techniques usually use characteristic functions for representing sets of states. Boolean functional vectors provide an alternate set representation which is suitable for ...
