In this paper we study the complexity of the model-checking problem for the tree logic introduced as the basis for the query language TQL [Cardelli and Ghelli, 2001]. We define tw...
We provide machine-independent characterizations of some complexity classes, over an arbitrary structure, in the model of computation proposed by L. Blum, M. Shub and S. Smale. We ...

Abstract A Boolean function is called normal if it is constant on flats of certain dimensions. This property is relevant for the construction and analysis of cryptosystems. This p...
In global computing applications the availability of a mechanism for some form of committed choice can be useful, and sometimes necessary. It can conveniently handle, e.g., distrib...
A term terminates if all its reduction sequences are of finite length. We show four type systems that ensure termination of well-typed π-calculus processes. The systems are obtai...
