Reconfigurable computing systems remain difficult to use and program. One way to increase design productivity for these systems is through reuse of previously developed and veri...
The Internet and the Grid are changing the face of high performance computing. Rather than tightly-coupled SPMD-style components running in a single cluster, on a parallel machine...
We address the goal of making Delegation Logic (DL) into a practically implementable and tractable trustmanagement system. DL [22] is a logic-based knowledge representation (i.e.,...
Executable formal speci cation can allow engineers to test (or simulate) the speci ed system on concrete data before the system is implemented. This is beginning to gain acceptance...
Commonsense knowledge often omits the temporal incidence of facts, and even the ordering between occurrences is only available for some of their instances. Reasoning about the temp...
