In this paper we present a proposal for representing soft constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) within the Semantic Web architecture. The proposal is motivated by the need for a...

This paper deals with the problem of statically inferring the shape of an array in languages such as MATLAB. Inferring an array’s shape is desirable because it empowers better co...

First-order probabilistic models are recognized as efficient frameworks to represent several realworld problems: they combine the expressive power of first-order logic, which serv...
It is rare to give a semantic definition of a full-scale programming language, despite the many potential benefits. Partly this is because the available metalanguages for expressi...

Constant propagation (CP) is one of the most widely used optimizations in practice (cf. [9]). Intuitively, it addresses the problem of statically detecting whether an expression al...
