Abstract. This paper aims at offering an insightful synthesis of different compositional semantics for logic program composition which have been developed in the literature. In p...
It is possible, but difficult, to reason in Hoare logic about programs which address and modify data structures defined by pointers. The challenge is to approach the simplicity of ...
Abstract. Classical Description Logics (DLs) are not suitable to represent vague pieces of information. The attempts to achieve a solution have lead to the birth of fuzzy DLs and r...
This paper presents an application of a DL reasoner to the optimization of an object-relational query language. Queries containing aggregate functions are difficult to optimize be...
We introduce a general framework that is based on distance semantics and investigate the main properties of the entailment relations that it induces. It is shown that such entailm...
