Existing ML-like languages guarantee type-safety, ensuring memty and protecting the invariants of abstract types, but only within single executions of single programs. Distributed...

We propose a generic method for obtaining quickly good upper bounds on the minimal value of a multistage stochastic program. The method is based on the simulation of a feasible dec...
Abstract. We claim that user preferences are a key component of effective Web service composition, and one that has largely been ignored. In this paper we propose a means of speci...

This paper shows how classic inductive assertions can be used in conjunction with an operational semantics to prove partial correctness properties of programs. The method imposes o...
Introducing priorities on rules in rewriting increases their expressive power and helps to limit computations. Priority rewriting is used in rule-based programming as well as in f...
