Testing from first-order specifications has mainly been studied for flat specifications, that are specifications of a single software module. However, the specifications of large s...
Traditional automata accept or reject their input, and are therefore Boolean. In contrast, weighted automata map each word to a value from a semiring over a large domain. The speci...
The problems of query containment, equivalence, and minimization are recognized as very important in the context of query processing, specifically of query optimization. In their...
Recently, the generalization framework in co-evolutionary learning has been theoretically formulated and demonstrated in the context of game-playing. Generalization performance of...
This paper introduces a framework for modeling and specifying the global behavior of e-service compositions. Under this framework, peers (individual e-services) communicate throug...
