We present a proof-technique for reducing the nondeterminbstract agent specifications in a BDI framework by means of refinement. We implement the operational semantics of agent sp...
The polynomial path order (POP for short) is a termination method that induces polynomial bounds on the innermost runtime complexity of term rewrite systems (TRSs for short). Seman...
Pure Pattern Type Systems (P2 TS) combine in a unified setting the capabilities of rewriting and λ-calculus. Their type systems, adapted from Barendregt’s λ-cube, are especial...
This paper discusses our participation in INEX using the TIJAH XML-IR system. We have enriched the TIJAH system, which follows a standard layered database architecture, with severa...
Although it has long been realised that ACID transactions by themselves are not adequate for structuring long-lived applications and much research work has been done on developing...
