We introduce in this paper new communication and synchronization constructs which allow deterministic processes, communicating asynchronously via unbounded FIFO bu ers, to cope wi...
E cient automatic model checking algorithms for real-time systems have been obtained in recent years based on the state region graph technique of Alur, Courcoubetis and Dill. Howev...
This paper examines a new technique based on tableau, that allows one to introduce composition of roles from the right hand side of complex role inclusion axioms (RIAs). Our motiva...
Topological relationships between objects in space are of great importance in many disciplines. Recently, topological relationships have been defined for complex spatial objects. ...
