In knowledge representation and reasoning systems, diagrams have many practical applications and are used in numerous settings. Indeed, it is widely accepted that diagrams are a va...
This paper presents a novel VLSI architecture for high-speed data compressor designs which implement the well-known LZ77 algorithm. The architecture mainly consists of three units...
It is well-known that knowledgebases may contain inconsistencies. We provide a framework of measures, based on a first-order four-valued logic, to quantify the inconsistency of a ...
Classical proof forests are a proof formalism for first-order classical logic based on Herbrand's Theorem and backtracking games in the style of Coquand. First described by M...
The RETE algorithm is a very efficient option for the development of a rule-based system, but it supports only boolean, first order logic. Many real-world contexts, instead, requir...
