Protocols for distributed systems make often use of random transitions to achieve a common goal. A popular example are randomized leader election protocols. We introduce probabilis...
Abstract. We develop a logic for reasoning about object-oriented programs. The logic is for a language with an imperative semantics and aliasing, and accounts for self-reference in...
Although it seems obvious that decision making is a contextual task, papers dealing with decision making tackle rarely the problem of contextual information management. After a bri...
We present Scilog, an experimental knowledge base to facilitate scientific discovery and reasoning. Scilog extends Prolog by supporting (1) dedicated predicates for specifying and ...
We introduce a set of transformations on the set of all probability distributions over a finite state space, and show that these transformations are the only ones that preserve c...
