Communities of autonomous units are being developed for formal specification and semantic analysis of systems of interacting and mobile components. The autonomous units of a commu...
For many years, finite model theory was viewed as the backbone of database theory, and database theory in turn supplied finite model theory with key motivations and problems. By n...
This paper presents a specifically database-inspired approach (called DOGMA) for engineering formal ontologies, implemented as shared resources used to express agreed formal semant...
Landin’s SECD machine was the first abstract machine for the λ-calculus viewed as a programming language. Both theoretically as a model of computation and practically as an ide...
To formalize a software process, its important aspects must be extracted as a model. Many processes are used repeatedly, and the ability to automate a process is also desired. One...
