We present a core calculus with two of X10's key constructs for parallelism, namely async and finish. Our calculus forms a convenient basis for type systems and static analys...
Abstract. A classic result known as the speed-up theorem in machineindependent complexity theory shows that there exist some computable functions that do not have best programs for...
Normal form bisimulation is a powerful theory of program equivalence, originally developed to characterize L´evy-Longo tree equivalence and Boehm tree equivalence. It has been ada...
Levesque introduced the notion of only-knowing to precisely capture the beliefs of a knowledge base. He also showed how only-knowing can be used to formalize non-monotonic behavio...
The Baldwin Effect is a very plausible, but unproven, biological theory concerning the power of learning to accelerate evolution. Simple computational models in the 1980’s gave...
