Cohen's [1] refinement rules provide a flexible mechanism for introducing intentional background knowledge in an ILP system. Whereas Cohen used a limited second order theorem ...
Abstract. Formal methods emphasizes the need for a top-down approach when developing large reliable software systems. Refinements are map step by step abstract algebraic specificat...
In the last three years, several “radically new” and promising approaches have been developed for tackling the plan synthesis problem. Currently, these approaches exist in iso...
Abstract. This paper presents the foundations for using automated deduction technology in static program analysis. The central principle is the use of logical lattices ? a class of...
Abstract. We present a model of object-oriented and component-based refinement. For object-orientation, the model is class-based and refinement is about correct changes in the stru...
