In the previous, companion, paper [13] to this paper we introduced our general model of refinement, discussed ideas around determinism and interfaces that the general definition r...
In this paper we describe work on the automatic recognition of island structures. In an initial phase several test persons were asked to mark groups of islands that they perceived...
Global constraints are used in constraint programming to help users specify patterns that occur frequently in the real world. In addition, global constraints facilitate the use of ...
A topological space is Noetherian iff every open is compact. Our starting point is that this notion generalizes that of well-quasi order, in the sense that an Alexandroff-discrete...
