This paper presents a programming language that includes paradigms that are usually associated with declarative languages, such as sets, rules and search, into an imperative (funct...
We propose here an extension of Rice's Theorem to first-order logic, proven by totally elementary means. If P is any property defined over the collection of all first-order t...
This paper deals with the evolutionary design of programs (constructors) that are able to create (n+2)-input circuits from n-input circuits. The growing circuits are composed of p...
A tool is described that provides for the automatic configuration of systems from a single description. The tool, newfig, uses two simple concepts to provide its functionality: bo...
Interaction protocols are specific, often standard, constraints on the behaviors of autonomous agents in a multiagent system. Protocols are essential to the functioning of open sys...
