Abstract. One of the maincharacteristics of logical reasoning in knowledge based systems is its high computational complexity. Anytime deduction and anytime compilation are two att...
The design process for xed-point implementations either in software or in hardware requires a bit-true specication of the algorithm in order to analyze quantization eects on an...
Abstract: Traceability is a prerequisite for managing the evolution of (software) systems. Assuring overall traceability of a system development process, i.e., capturing and interr...
Abstract. Reasoning on programs and automated deduction often require the manipulation of in nite sets of objects. Many formalisms have been proposed to handle such sets. Here we d...
ABSTRACT. This paper investigates the problem of finding subclasses of nonmonotonic reasoning which can be implemented efficiently. The ability to "define" propositions u...
