A central challenge in computer science and knowledge representation is the integration of conceptual frameworks for continuous and discrete change, as exemplified by the theory ...
Developers perform small-scale reuse tasks to save time and to increase the quality of their code, but due to their small scale, the costs of such tasks can quickly outweigh their...
We present a generalisation of first-order rewriting which allows us to deal with terms involving binding operations in an elegant and practical way. We use a nominal approach to...
