Based on a variable-free combinatory form of definite clause logic programs we outline a methodology and supporting program environment CombInduce for inducing well-moded logic pro...
Kowalski and Sergot’s Event Calculus (EC) is a simple temporal formalism that, given a set of event occurrences, allows the derivation of the maximal validity intervals (MVIs) o...
An adaptive cache coherence mechanism exploits semantic information about the expected or observed access behavior of particular data objects. We contend that, in distributed shar...
Abstract. This paper develops a highly expressive semantic framework for program refinement that supports both temporal reasoning and reasoning about the knowledge of a single agen...
