We refine our algebraic axiomatization in [8,9] of epistemic actions and epistemic update (notions defined in [5,6] using Kripke-style semantics), to incorporate a mechanism for d...
— Reducing the ever-growing leakage power is critical to power efficient designs. Leakage reduction techniques such as power-gating using sleep transistor insertion introduces la...

The standardization of the second generation Web Ontology Language, OWL, leaves a crucial issue for Web-based ontologies unsatisfactorily resolved: how to represent and reason with...
There is a growing recognition of the need to apply formal mathematical methods in the design of \high con dence" computing systems. Such systems operate in safety critical co...
Middleware simplifies the construction of distributed applications. These applications typically require continuous uptime. The maintenance of distributed applications, though, im...
