Much research in multi-agent systems reflects the field’s origins in classical artificial intelligence, showing how various refinements to the internal reasoning of individual a...
: While some information modeling approaches (e.g. the Relational Model, and Object-Role Modeling) are typically formalized using first-order logic, other approaches to information...
Abstract. This paper presents the design, implementation and experimental evaluation of a practical region-based partial dead code elimination (PDE) algorithm on predicated code in...
Today’s mainstream object-oriented compilers and tools do not support declaring and statically checking simple pre- and postconditions on methods and invariants on object represe...
In order to enable knowledge sharing and reuse among software entities, artificial intelligence researchers have proposed to develop ‘ontologies’ as the explicit formal specifi...
