As a value flows across the boundary between interoperating languages, it must be checked and converted to fit the types and representations of the target language. For simple f...

: Ranking theory delivers an account of iterated contraction; each ranking function induces a specific iterated contraction behavior. The paper gives a complete axiomatization of t...
This work elaborates on the connection between partial meet contractions and kernel contractions in belief change theory. We present a way to define incision functions (used in ker...
One of the ways to model contraction functions for belief sets is epistemic entrenchment. The first step was provided by G¨ardenfors in [5], who defined epistemic entrenchment ...
Abstract. Assertion-based contracts provide a powerful mechanism for stating invariants at module boundaries and for enforcing them uniformly. In 2002, Findler and Felleisen showed...
