Abstract. We investigate the possibility of (bi)simulation-like preorder/equivalence checking on the class of visibly pushdown automata and its natural subclasses visibly BPA (Basi...
Constant propagation (CP) is one of the most widely used optimizations in practice (cf. [9]). Intuitively, it addresses the problem of statically detecting whether an expression al...
—In distributed real-time embedded systems (DRE), it is common to model an application as a set of task chains. Each chain is activated cyclically and must complete before an end...
Abstract. Modal logics see a wide variety of applications in artificial intelligence, e.g. in reasoning about knowledge, belief, uncertainty, agency, defaults, and relevance. From ...
ATL+ is a variant of alternating-time temporal logic that does not have the expressive power of full ATL , but still allows for expressing some natural properties of agents. It ha...
