Component-based software has a self-similar structure on el of abstraction, i.e. its structure is fractal. Traditional software processes, however, have a linear or iterated struct...
We give a notation and a logical calculus for the description and deductive manipulation of dynamic networks of communicating components. We represent such nets by hierarchical sys...
PGA (ProGram Algebra) is an algebra of programs which concerns programs in their simplest form: sequences of instructions. Molecular dynamics is a simple model of computation deve...
One of the major interests of finite model theory is to separate the expressive power of different logics or fragments of logics. In this paper, we define a variant of EhrenfeuchtF...
Pictorial Structures (PS) define a probabilistic model of 2D articulated objects in images. Typical PS models assume an object can be represented by a set of rigid parts connecte...
