We describe an approach to create a synthetic workload for large scale extensional query answering experiments. The workload comprises multiple interrelated domain ontologies, data...
We present a generalized committed choice construct for concurrent programs that interact with a shared store. The generalized committed choice (GCC) allows multiple computations ...
This paper proposes a formal framework which offers an external representation of conversations between conversational agents. Using this formalism allows us: (1) to represent the ...
