Optimistic concurrency algorithms provide good performance for parallel programs but they are extremely hard to reason about. Program logics such as concurrent separation logic and...

Dynamic detection and elimination of symmetry in constraints, is in general a hard task, but in Not-Equals binary constraint networks, the symmetry conditions can be simplified. I...
We continue the recent line of work on the connection between semidefinite programming-based approximation algorithms and the Unique Games Conjecture. Given any boolean 2-CSP (or...
A connectionist model for robust reasoning, CONSYDERR, is proposed to account for some common reasoning patterns found in commonsense reasoning and to remedy the brittleness probl...
In requirements elicitation, different stakeholders often hold different views of how a proposed system should behave, resulting in inconsistencies between their descriptions. Con...
