We describe formal steps in the design of iState, a tool for translating statecharts into programming languages. Currently iState generates code in either Java, or the Abstract Mac...
Abstract. Various methods exists in the literature for denoting the configuration of a Turing Machine. A key difference is whether the head position is indicated by some integer ...
An open problem in reinforcement learning is discovering hierarchical structure. HEXQ, an algorithm which automatically attempts to decompose and solve a model-free factored MDP h...
Abstract. We compare three specification frameworks for the operationtics of programming languages, abstract state machines (ASMs) and the two incarnations of natural semantics, b...
Abstract. In earlier work, the Abstract State Machine Thesis — that arbitrary algore behaviorally equivalent to abstract state machines — was established for several classes of...
