A central challenge in computer science and knowledge representation is the integration of conceptual frameworks for continuous and discrete change, as exemplified by the theory ...
Motivated by improvements in constraint-solving technology and by the increase of routinely available computational power, partial-program synthesis is emerging as an effective a...
We present a general theory of Gifford-style type and effect annotations, where effect annotations are sets of effects. Generality is achieved by recourse to the theory of algebra...
This paper presents a novel compiler for Esterel, a concurrent synchronous imperative language. It generates fast, small object code by compiling away concurrency, producing a sin...
We introduce a definition of constraint symmetry for soft CSPs, based on the definition of constraint symmetry for classical CSPs. We show that the constraint symmetry group of a...
