The correctness of the Z semantics of OWL is the theoretical foundation of using software engineering techniques to verify Web ontologies. As OWL and Z are based on different logi...
Abstract Within a framework of correct code-generation from HOLspecifications, we present a particular instance concerned with the optimized compilation of a lazy language (called...
Description Logics (DLs) are the formalism underlying the standard web ontology language OWL 2. DLs have formal semantics which are the basis for powerful reasoning services. In th...
We introduce an extension of Description Logics (DLs) for representing and reasoning about contextualized knowledge. Our formalism is inspired by McCarthy’s theory of formalizing...
We present a formal semantics for a subset of Verilog, commonly used to describe cell libraries, in terms of transition systems. Such transition systems can serve as input to symb...
