In our research we study rational agents which learn how to choose the best conditional, partial plan in any situation. The agent uses an incomplete symbolic inference engine, emp...
We introduce the idea of optimisation validation, which is to formally establish that an instance of an optimising transformation indeed improves with respect to some resource mea...

We use Girard's linear logic (LL) to produce a semantics for Gamma, a multiset transformation language. The semantics improves on the existing structured operational semantics...
We address the goal of making Delegation Logic (DL) into a practically implementable and tractable trustmanagement system. DL [22] is a logic-based knowledge representation (i.e.,...
The task of designing and implementing a compiler can be a difficult and error-prone process. In this paper, we present a new approach based on the igher-order abstract syntax and ...
